What is the volume of a salt crystal measuring 2.44 × 10–2 m by 1.4 × 10–3 m by 8.4 × 10–3 m?
All solids have an orderly internal structure with repeating bonding patterns between atoms, ions, or molecules. They are called crystal lattices. They are a 3-dimensional arrangement of atoms inside a crystal. The volume of this crystal is:
Volume = 2.44 × 10^–2 m x 1.4 × 10^–3 m x 8.4 × 10^–3 m = 2.87 x 10^-7 m^3
Answer: The volume of salt crystal is \(2.9\times 10^{-7}m^3\)
Explanation : Given,
Length of salt crystal = \(2.44\times 10^{-2}m\)
Breadth of salt crystal = \(1.4\times 10^{-3}m\)
Height of salt crystal = \(8.4\times 10^{-3}m\)
To calculate the volume of salt crystal by using the formula of volume of cuboid, we use the equation:
\(V=lbh\)
where,
V = volume
l = length
b = breadth
h = height
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(V=(2.44\times 10^{-2}m)\times (1.4\times 10^{-3}m)\times (8.4\times 10^{-3}m)=2.9\times 10^{-7}m^3\)
Hence, the volume of salt crystal is \(2.9\times 10^{-7}m^3\)
