What volume in kiloliters will a sample of Bay water occupy if it has a volume of 125 ml?

This question is basically asking us to convert the volume from mL to kL.

We can do this by setting up a multiplication problem and cancelling out units:

[tex] \frac{125mL}{1}* \frac{1L}{1000mL} * \frac{1kL}{1000L} =1.25* 10^{-4}kL [/tex]

So now we know that the Bay water will occupy 1.25x10^-4 kL.

Answer: [tex]0.125\times 10^{-3}kL[/tex].

Explanation:

Volume of the gas is defined as the space occupied by a substance. It is expressed in units like [tex]cm^3[/tex], [tex]m^3[/tex] , L and ml.

All these units of volume are inter convertible.

We are given:

Volume of the gas = [tex]125ml[/tex]

Converting this unit of volume into 'L' by using conversion factor:

[tex]1ml=0.001L[/tex]

[tex]125ml=\frac{0.001}{1}\times 125=0.125L[/tex]

[tex]1L=0.001kL[/tex]

Thus [tex]0.125L=\frac{0.001}{1}\times 0.125=0.125\times 10^{-3}kL[/tex]

Thus the volume in kilo Liters would be [tex]0.125\times 10^{-3}[/tex].
