Answer:
The volume of the waste collection tank is [tex]2.38\times 10^7 cm^3[/tex].
Explanation:
To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}[/tex]
We are given:
Density of methanol= [tex]d = 0.788 g/cm^3[/tex]
Mass of methanol= 18,754 kg = 18,754,000 g( 1 kg = 1000 g)
Volume of the methanol = V
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]0.788 g/cm^3=\frac{18,754,000 g}{V}[/tex]
[tex]V=\frac{18,754,000 g}{0.788 g/cm^3}[/tex]
[tex]V=23,799,492.38 cm^3=2.38\times 10^7 cm^3[/tex]
V = Volume of the methanol = Volume of waste collection tank
The volume of the waste collection tank is [tex]2.38\times 10^7 cm^3[/tex].
