(a)
Interpretation: The volume of the box containing 500 g of corn oil needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is volume.
(a)
Answer to Problem 8E
Explanation of Solution
The mass and volume are related to density as follows:
The density of corn oil is 0.92 g/mL. The mass is given 500 g thus, the volume can be calculated as follows:
Putting the values,
Thus, the volume of corn oil is 543.5 mL.
(b)
Interpretation: The volume of the box containing 500 g of lead needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is volume.
(b)
Answer to Problem 8E
Explanation of Solution
The mass and volume is related to density as follows:
The density of lead is 11.35 g/mL. The mass is given 500 g, thus, the volume can be calculated as follows:
Putting the values,
Thus, the volume of the box containing 500 g of lead is
