- Make the following conversions. 1 .25 in. to feet and to centimeters 2.12 qt to gallons and to liters 2640 ft to miles and to kilometers 1.254 kg lead to its volume in cubic centimeters 250. mL ethanol to its mass in grams 3.5 in.3 of mercury to its volume in milliliters and its mass in kilogramsarrow_forwardVinegar contains acetic acid (about 5% by mass). Pure acetic acid has a strong vinegar smell but is corrosive to the skin. What volume of pure acetic acid has a mass of 35.00 g? The density of acetic acid is 1.053 g/mL.arrow_forward1.54 Carry out each of the following conversions. (a) 25.2 m to km, (b) 36.3 km to m, (c) 487 kg to g, (d) 1.32 L to mL, (e) 55.9 dL to L, (f) 625 L to cm3arrow_forward
- An aquarium has a rectangular cross section that is 47.8 in. by 12.5 in.; it is 19.5 in. high. How many U.S gallons does the aquarium contain? One U.S. gallon equals exactly 231 in3.arrow_forwardThe longest river in the world is the Nile River with a length of 4145 mi. How long is the Nile in cable lengths, meters, and nautical miles? Use these exact conversions to help solve the problem: 6 ft = 1 fathom 100 fathoms = 1 cable length 10 cable lengths = 1 nautical mile 3 nautical miles = 1 leaguearrow_forwardA spherical tank has a radius of 175.0 in. Calculate the volume of the tank in cubic inches; then convert this to Imperial gallons. The volume of a sphere is (4/3) r3, where r is the radius. One Imperial gallon equals 277.4 in3.arrow_forward
- The first measurement of sea depth was made in 1840 in the central South Atlantic, where a plummet was lowered 2425 fathoms. What is this depth in meters? Note that 1 fathom = 6ft, 1 ft = 12 in., and 1 in. = 2.54 102 m. (These relations are exact.)arrow_forward0.0715 gal = _____ c m 3 2.27 x 10 4 mL = _____ g a larrow_forwardA lap in most tracks in the United States is 0.25 mi (English lap). In most countries that use the metric system, a metric lap is 0.40 km. A champion marathon runner covers a mile in about 5.0 min. How many minutes will the runner take to run an English lap? A metric lap?arrow_forward
- A sample of vermilion-colored mineral was weighed in air, then weighed again while suspended in water. An object is buoyed up by the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. In air, the mineral weighed 18.49 g; in water, it weighed 16.21 g. The densities of air and water are 1.205 g/L and 0.9982 g/cm3, respectively. What is the density of the mineral?arrow_forward1.39 Make the following metric conversions: (a)964 mLto L (b)275 mm to cm (c) 45.7 kg to g (d) 475 cm to m (e)21.64 cc to mL (f) 3.29 L to cc (g)0.044 L to mL (h)711 g to kg (1) 63.7 mL to cc (j) 0.073 kg to mg (k) 83.4 m to mm (1) 361 mg to garrow_forwardThe total length of all the DNA molecules contained in a human body is 1 1010 miles. The population of the United States is about 300 million. What is the total length of all the DNA of the U.S. population in lightyears?
