If 65 percent of your body mass is water, determine how many kilograms of water you contain.
If a P-20 micropipettor is set at “110,” what volume of water will this measure? How much should that water weigh? If a P-1000 micropipettor is set at “035”, what volume of water will this measure? How much should that water weigh? Please include units in your answers!
If the value of mass doubles but the volume stays the same, the value for density will be
