\u00c3\u201a\u00c2 \u00c3\u201a\u00c2 What is the density (g\/mL) of a sample of olive oil if 250 mL has a mass of 0.23 kg?
0.00092 g\/mL

0.92 g\/mL
57.5 g\/mL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the density<\/strong> of olive oil in g\/mL<\/strong>, we use the formula: Density=MassVolume\\text{Density} = \\frac{\\text{Mass}}{\\text{Volume}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Convert the mass to grams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The mass of the olive oil is given as 0.23 kg<\/strong>. Since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram<\/strong>: 0.23\u2009kg=0.23\u00d71000=230\u2009g0.23 \\, \\text{kg} = 0.23 \\times 1000 = 230 \\, \\text{g}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Volume is already in milliliters (mL)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The volume is 250 mL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Calculate density<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Density=230\u2009g250\u2009mL=0.92\u2009g\/mL\\text{Density} = \\frac{230 \\, \\text{g}}{250 \\, \\text{mL}} = 0.92 \\, \\text{g\/mL}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Correct Answer: 0.92 g\/mL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Density<\/strong> is a physical property of matter that relates the mass<\/strong> of a substance to the volume<\/strong> it occupies. It is commonly used to identify materials and evaluate their purity or quality. The formula used to calculate density is: Density=MassVolume\\text{Density} = \\frac{\\text{Mass}}{\\text{Volume}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this question, we’re asked to determine the density of olive oil. The given mass is 0.23 kg<\/strong>, and the volume is 250 mL<\/strong>. However, to compute density in g\/mL<\/strong>, we must first ensure the units of mass and volume are compatible. Since 1 kilogram (kg) equals 1000 grams (g), we convert: 0.23\u2009kg=230\u2009g0.23 \\, \\text{kg} = 230 \\, \\text{g}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, using the formula: Density=230\u2009g250\u2009mL=0.92\u2009g\/mL\\text{Density} = \\frac{230 \\, \\text{g}}{250 \\, \\text{mL}} = 0.92 \\, \\text{g\/mL}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This result is consistent with typical densities for olive oil, which generally range from 0.91 to 0.93 g\/mL<\/strong> depending on temperature and composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this useful? In industries like food processing, chemistry, and shipping, knowing the density helps in converting between volume and mass, ensuring proper packaging, and verifying product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common mistakes in density problems include forgetting to convert units (like kg to g or L to mL) or using inconsistent units, which can lead to incorrect answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the correct answer, based on proper conversion and calculation, is 0.92 g\/mL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
