Question

An iceberg has a volume of 8660 ft^3. What is the mass in kilograms of the iceberg? The density of ice in the iceberg is 0.92 g/cm^3.

Express the answer using two significant figures.

science chemistry

Answer 1

Answer #1

Volume is given of iceberg = 8660 ft3

cm = 8660/.032808 =263960.01 cm3

Density = mass/volume

mass = Density X volume

0.92 X 263960.01 = 242843.20 g

= 242.84 Kg of mass of an iceberg

What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917 kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg floats in (a) the ocean (salt water, density 1024 kg/m3) and (b) in a river (fresh water, density 998 kg/m3)? (When salt water freezes to form ice, the salt is excluded. So, an iceberg could provide fresh water to a community.)

If you have ever heard the term 'the tip of the iceberg' you probably know that the amount of an iceberg you see floating in the ocean is only a small amount of the total volume of the iceberg. Most of the iceberg is submerged. For this problem we will determine the ratio of the submerged iceberg volume to the volume above water. Assume we see a volume of 1000 m^3 of ice above the water. The density of water...
