Answer to Problem 69A

The mass of the ice is 36.6 kg .

Explanation of Solution

The formula for density is:

  density = massvolume  ....... (1)

The volume of the ice cube is:

  25.0 cm ×42.0 cm ×38.0 cm = 39900 cm3

Substituting the values of density and volume of the ice cube in equation (1) to calculate the mass of the ice cube:

  0.917 g/cm3 = mass39900 cm3mass = 39900 cm3×0.917 g/cm3mass = 36588.3 g

Converting the obtained mass of the ice cube from g to kg using the following conversion factor:

  1 kg = 1000 g

So,

  36588.3 g × 1 kg1000 g = 36.5883 kg  36.6 kg
