If ice has a density of [tex]0.92 \, \text{g/cm}^3[/tex], what is the volume of [tex]1.8 \, \text{kilograms}[/tex] of ice?
Answer (2)
Given: Density = .92 g / cm³ Volume = 1.8 kg = (1.8 * 1000) grams = 1800 grams Now, De n s i t y ( d ) = v o l u m e ( v ) M a ss ( m )
v o l u m e ( v ) = d e n s i t y ( d ) ma ss ( m )
v o l u m e ( v ) = .92 1800
v o l u m e ( v ) = 1956.521739
v o l u m e ( v ) = 1956.5 c m 3 **
** So, the volume of 1.8 kg of ice is 1956.5 cm ³
To calculate the volume of 1.8 kilograms of ice, you first convert kg to grams, which gives you 1800 grams. Then, using the density of ice (0.92 g/cm³), you find the volume to be approximately 1957 cm³. This shows how mass and density relate to volume in physical chemistry.
