Question

Air has an average density of 0.001226 g/mL.What volume of air would have a mass of 1.0 lb? 
454 g = 1 pound

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, convert 1.0 lb to grams using the given conversion (454 g = 1 pound). Then, use the density formula (density = mass/volume) to find the volume. Given the density of air is 0.001226 g/mL, and the mass is 454 g, the volume is calculated as $ \frac{454 \, \text{g}}{0.001226 \, \text{g/mL}} = 370,467 \, \text{mL} $ or $ 3.7 \times 10^5 \, \text{mL} $, which is $ 3.7 \times 10^2 \, \text{L} $ since $ 1 \, \text{L} = 1000 \, \text{mL} $.
