Answer to Question #161012 in Chemistry for jericholayos

Question

The density of the lightest metal, lithium (Li), is 5.34 3 102 kg/m 3 . Convert the density to g/cm 3

Answer 1

d(Li) = 5.34×10² kg/m³

Solution:

1 kg = 1000 g

1 m = 100 cm

Hence,

5.34×10² kg/m³ × (1000 g / 1 kg) × (1 m / 100 cm)³ = 5.34×10² × (1000 g / 10⁶ cm³) = 0.534 g/cm³

d(Li) = 0.534 g/cm³

Answer: The density of lithium (Li) is 0.534 g/cm³.
