Sure, here's a step-by-step solution to convert the density of table salt from grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) to pounds per liter (lb/L):
1. Start with the given density of table salt: 2.16 g/cm3.
2. To convert grams to pounds, we need to use the conversion factor of 1 pound = 453.592 grams.
3. Multiply the given density by the conversion factor to convert grams to pounds: 2.16 g/cm3 * (1 lb / 453.592 g).
4. Cancel out the units of grams, and the resulting unit is pounds per cubic centimeter (lb/cm3).
5. To convert cubic centimeters to liters, we know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, divide the density by 1000 to convert to liters: (2.16 lb/cm3) / 1000 = 0.00216 lb/cm3.
6. Finally, the density in pounds per liter (lb/L) is obtained by multiplying the result from step 5 by 1000 (since there are 1000 liters in one cubic meter): 0.00216 lb/cm3 * 1000 = 2.16 lb/L.
So, the density of table salt in pounds per liter (lb/L) is 2.16 lb/L.
