These three are connected through the formula: Density=MassVolume\\text{Density} = \\frac{\\text{Mass}}{\\text{Volume}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rearrange this formula to solve for <strong>volume<\/strong>, you get: Volume=MassDensity\\text{Volume} = \\frac{\\text{Mass}}{\\text{Density}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of this problem, a pharmacist is weighing out 2 kilograms of glycerin. Since the given density is in <strong>grams per milliliter (g\/mL)<\/strong>, we must <strong>convert kilograms to grams<\/strong> to match the units: 2&nbsp;kg=2000&nbsp;grams2\\ \\text{kg} = 2000\\ \\text{grams}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we substitute into the formula using the given density of 1.25 g\/mL: Volume=20001.25=1600&nbsp;mL\\text{Volume} = \\frac{2000}{1.25} = 1600\\ \\text{mL}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tells us that 2000 grams (or 2 kg) of glycerin occupies 1600 milliliters of volume. For convenience, since pharmacists often work in liters, we can convert milliliters to liters: 1600&nbsp;mL=1.6&nbsp;L1600\\ \\text{mL} = 1.6\\ \\text{L}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding this relationship is vital in pharmacy and chemistry, where accurate measurement of liquids based on their mass and density ensures proper formulation and dosing. This calculation is a common example of <strong>dimensional analysis<\/strong> used in real-world scientific applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pharmacist weighs out 2 kg of glycerin ( density 1.25 g \/ ml ) .
