You are on the management team of a company that is considering purchasing a tanker truck. The truck you want has a volume of 26,000 liters and an empty mass/weight of 15,500 kg. However, the route you wish to travel has a bridge with a weight limit of 25 tons. If you purchase the truck and fill it to capacity with a liquid whose density is 0.80kg/L, what will the mass of the truck be?

A student notices that her father (who is trying to lose weight) is drinking a lot of diet Pepsi with the artificial sweetener aspartame. The student has read that aspartame, at high doses, may be a carcinogen. She has read that the FDA recommends no more than 50.0 mg of aspartame per kg of body weight per day. Given that her father weighs 175 pounds, how many cans of diet Pepsi can he “safely” consume per day? (453.6 g/1 pound; 177 mg aspartame/can diet Pepsi)

You are asked to calibrate a 25 mL volumetric pipet. You determine that the temperature of your distilled water is exactly 24.5 degrees Celsius. You carefully determined the mass of a clean dry beaker and found that it was 57.5513 g. You pulled water up to the mark and transferred this to the beaker and found that the new mass was 82.9344 g. What is the actual volume of the pipet? The density of water at 24.5 degrees Celsius is 0.997983 g/mL.
A generator consumes (2.690x10^1) L of fuel per hour. For how many minutes could this generator run if there are (2.12x10^1) gallons of fuel available? Given: 1.000 gallon = 3.785 L
A manufacturer of paint claims that a gallon (3.78 L) of latex paint can cover 365 ft2 of the surface of a wall in a single coating. The paint manufacturer also claims that one single coating of an entire wall will be 3.40 mm thick. Is this a case of false advertising? Yes or No? Elaborate your answer by providing a calculation (handwritten, upload a pdf). You may use the following conversions: 12 in = 1 ft, 2.54 cm = 1 in
Lead is an elementary substance that occurs as a malleable metal with a density of 11.4 g/mL at ambient temperature and pressure. Lead metal can be extracted from a mineral called galena, which contains 86.6%% lead by mass.
