Calcium chloride is often used to de-ice roads in the winter. What volume would 15.715.7 gg calcium chloride occupy, if the density is 2.502.50 gg/cm^3/cm3?

By definition, rho,"density"="mass"/"volume"ρ,density=massvolume

Explanation:

And so "volume"="mass"/rho=(15.7*g)/(2.50*g*cm^-3)=6.3*g*cm^3volume=massρ=15.7g2.50gcm3=6.3gcm3...

And note that is dimensionally consistent given that...

g/(g*cm^-3)=cancelg/(cancelg*1/(cm^3))-=cm^3...a unit of volume as required....
