What is the volume of 12g of rain? and how do you know?
The answer is 12 mL.
When dealing with water, the mass in grams is the same as the volume in milliliters. Thus, if the rain has a mass of 12g, the volume is 12mL.
Answer:
the volume of 12 g of rain is equal to 12 cm^3, and it is known to apply the concept of density.
Explanation:
The rain is formed by drops of water. therefore, to calculate the volume we need the density of water, which is equal to 1 g/cm^3, and density is defined as the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance:
ρ = m/V
where ρ is the density = 1 g/cm^3
m=mass = 12 g
V=volume = ?
clearing the volume:
V = m/ρ = 12/1 = 12 cm^3
