Determine the mass of 2.5 cups of water if the density of water is 1.00 g/cm^3 and 1 cup = 240 mL

1) we find out the volume of the water.

Remember: 1 ml=1 cm³

Volume of the water=number of cups x volume of one cup.

Volume of the water=2.5 (240 ml) = 600 ml=600 cm³

Density=mass/volume ⇒ mass=density x volume

2) we calculate the water mass of 600 cm³ of water.

mass=density x volume

mass = (1 g/cm³) (600 cm³) = 600 g.

Answer: the mass of 2.5 cupas of water is 600 g.
