Question

The density of helium is 0.17 g/L. What Is the mass of helium in a 5.4 L helium balloon? (2 sig figs) *

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.92 g

Explanation:

The density is defined as the mass per unit of volume:

Density= mass/volume

From the data provided:

volume= 5.4 L

density= 0.17 g/L

Thus, to calculate the mass of helium:

mass= density x volume = 0.17 g/L x 5.4 L= 0.918 g ≅ 0.92 g
