What all information is given to you? What all information are you required to find? How do you go about solving for said information?

stamp · Answer

Given information:$$m_{olive\ oil}=m_{gasoline}$$$$d_{gasoline}=0.66\ g/mL$$$$d_{olive\ oil}=0.92\ g/mL$$$$V_{gasoline}=2.00\ L$$

stamp · Answer

Required information:$$Find\ V_{olive\ oil}=x\ cm^3.$$

anonymous · Answer

what is given to me is olive oil has a density of .92g/mL and gasoline has a density of .66 g/mL

anonymous · Answer

i have no clue in how to solve this problem. its for chemistry. and its asking how many cm3 of olive oil have the same mass as 2.00 L of gasoline

stamp · Answer

Observe:$$m_{olive\ oil}=m_{gasoline}$$$$d=\frac{m}{V}$$$$m=d*V$$

anonymous · Answer

do i equal them to each other?

stamp · Answer

$$m_{olive\ oil}=d_{olive\ oil}*V_{olive\ oil}$$$$=(0.92\ g/mL)x\ cm^3=0.92x$$
$$m_{gasoline}=d_{gasoline}*V_{gasoline}$$$$Find\ m_{gasoline}.$$Set the masses equal and solve for x.

dont i have to convert L to grams?

stamp · Answer

You can convert L to mL or mL to L, but yes, be wary of your units. Let me know what values you obtain for m.
