| The capacity (volume) of a railway tank car for the transportation of gasoline is 50m3, find the mass of gasoline in the tank if 1 cm3 of gasoline has a mass of 0.71g.
1. It is known that 1 m ^ 3 = 1,000,000 cm ^ 3,
1 kilogram = 1000 grams,
1 ton = 1000 kilograms.
2. Let’s convert the volume of the tank from cubic meters to cubic centimeters.
50 m ^ 3 = 50,000,000 cm ^ 3.
3. Find the mass of transported gasoline in the tank, the volume of which is equal to
50,000,000 cm ^ 3.
0.71 g / cm ^ 3 * 50,000,000 cm ^ 3 = 35,500,000 g = 35,500 kg = 35.5 tons.
Answer: The mass of gasoline transported in a tank is 35.5 tons.
