A 10-ft moving truck has a volume capacity of 402 cubic feet, which is equivalent to 1.138 x 10⁷ milliliters. What mass of silver, in megagrams, will fit in this moving truck? The density of silver is 10.49 g/mL.

Answer :

Answer:

The mass of silver is [tex]1.19\times 10^{14}\ Mg[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the truck is 402 cubic feet or 1.138 x 10⁷ mm.

The density of silver is 10.49 g/mL.

We need to find the mass of silver that will fit in this moving truck. Density equals mass divided by volume. So,

[tex]d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\text{where m is mass}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=10.49\ g/mL\times 1.138 \times 10^7\ mL\\\\m=119376200\ g[/tex]

1 gram = 10⁻⁶ Megagram

[tex]119376200=1.19\times 10^{14}\ Mg[/tex]

Hence, the mass of silver is [tex]1.19\times 10^{14}\ Mg[/tex]
