Use "Dimensional Analysis" to determine what "conversion factors" you will need before you do the math. $g/"mL" xx "??"/"??" = "lbs"/"gal"$ We need a mass conversion unit ($g to "lbs"$)...
Since the problem provides you with the volume of the jacket, you will have to focus on find its mass by using the total mass of water displaced by the...
of carbon tetrachloride at ambient conditions is approximately 1.5 g/ml, so for a given volume carbon tetrachloride has a higher mass than water. So when combined the carbon tetrachloride...
The density, $rho$, of mercury $=$ $13,593*kg*m^-3$; it is $13.6*g*cm^-3$ in more accessible units. Anyway, mercury metal is pretty dense stuff. If you ever found a pool of mercury, you...
Well, we work out the water displaced by the silver........by calculating the volume of the silver nugget using the . $"Density"(rho)$ $=$ $"Mass"/"Volume"$ Thus $"Volume"="Mass"/rho$ $=$ $(30.2*g)/(10.5*g*mL^-1)$ $~=$ $3*mL$. This...
If ice were denser than liquid water, icebergs would likely sink (even given that sea water is denser than normal water). If this were the case then oceans would likely...
