Awaste collection tank can hold 18,754 kg of methanol, which has a density of 0.788 g/cm3. what is the volume of the waste collection tank?

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass of the substance divided by the volume of the substance.

Mathematically,      Density =

Since, it is given that mass is 18,754 kg and density is 0.788 g/. We know that there are 1000 grams in 1 kg.

So, 18,754 kg equals 18,754000 grams.

Hence, calculate the volume of the waste collection tank as follows.

                   Density =

        0.788 g/ =  

                    volume = 23799492.38

It is known that 1 equals 0.001 liter. So, 23799492.38 equals 23799.49 liters.

Thus, we can conclude that volume of the waste collection tank is 23799.49 liters.

Answer : The  volume of the waste collection tank is 23799.5 L

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Formula used for density :

Given :

Mass of methanol = 18754 kg =  18754000 g     (1 kg = 1000 g)

Density of methanol =

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Conversion used :

Therefore, the volume of the waste collection tank is 23799.5 L
