First, we need to convert 0.0059 L to cm^3:
1 L = 1000 cm^3
0.0059 L = 5.9 cm^3
Now we can use the density formula:
density = mass/volume
Rearranging the formula gives:
mass = density x volume
Substituting the given values:
mass = 21.40 g/cm^3 x 5.9 cm^3
mass = 126.26 g
Finally, we convert the mass to kg:
mass = 0.12626 kg (to five significant figures)
Platinum has a density of 21.40 g/c m cubed. What is the mass of 0.0059 L of this metal in kg?
