Air has a density of 0.001226 g/mL. What volume of air would have a mass of 1.0 lb?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, convert 1.0 lb to grams since the density is given in g/mL. 1 lb is approximately 453.6 grams. Using the density formula (density = mass/volume), we can rearrange it to find volume = mass/density. Plugging in the values gives volume = 453.6 g / 0.001226 g/mL = 370,000 mL or 3.7 × 10^5 mL, which is 3.7 × 10^2 L (since 1 L = 1000 mL).
