In An Attempt To Determine The Velocity Of A Person On A Bicycle, An Observer Uses A Stopwatch And Times The Length Of Time It Takes To Cover 25 "squares" On A Sidewalk. A Measurement Of One Of The Squares Shows It To Be 1.13 Long. The Bicycle Takes 4.82 Seconds To Travel This Far. A measurement of one of the squares shows that it is 1.13 m long. What velocity, in m/s, should the observer report?
Water has a density of 0.96 mL-1 at its boiling point of 100 C under standard atmospheric pressure. The density of water vapor is about 1600 times less than the density of water under the same conditions. If a 1.00 L beaker of water was converted into water vapor at 100 C under standard atmospheric pressure, what would the volume (in L) of the water vapor be?
