A balloon contains helium with a mass of 0.00296 g. What is the volume of helium in the balloon? (Note: Helium's density is 0.00001663 g/cm3.) Volume: 0.00296g/0.00001663g/cm^3 = 177.991581cm^3

178 cm3

Explanation:

From definition of density, it is mass per unit volume of an object, expressed as density=mass/volume and making volume the subject of the above formula we have volume = mass/density and substituting 0.00296 g for mass and 0.00001663 g/cm3 for density then we have

Volume=0.00296/0.00001663

Volume is approximately 178 cm3
