Calculating Mass and Volume of Olive Oil

Questions:

1. What is the mass of 20.0 mL of olive oil? 2. What is the volume of 20.0 g of olive oil?

Answers:

1. The mass of 20mL of olive oil is 18.4g. 2. The volume of 20g of olive oil is 21.74mL.

Calculation of Mass and Volume:

CALCULATION OF MASS:

We are given the density of olive oil as 0.92 g/mL.

Question 1: Mass of 20 mL Olive oil

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass = 0.92 g/mL × 20 mL

Mass = 18.4 grams

Therefore, the mass of 20 mL of olive oil is 18.4 grams.

Question 2: Volume of 20 g Olive oil

Volume = Mass ÷ Density

Volume = 20 g ÷ 0.92 g/mL

Volume = 21.74 mL

Therefore, the volume of 20 grams of olive oil is 21.74 mL.

Understanding Density Calculation:

The density of a substance can be calculated by dividing the mass by its volume.

Formula: Density = Mass (g) ÷ Volume (mL)

For olive oil, the density is given as 0.92g/mL.

Therefore, the mass and volume calculations for olive oil are as mentioned above.

These calculations help in understanding the relationship between mass and volume of a substance based on its density.
