There can be no equivalence.

A gram is a measure of mass. A cubic decimetre = 1 litre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.

If you are not convinced, consider a litre of air. How many grams? Next consider a litre of Mercury. How many grams?

The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

Many people believe that there is an exact conversion for pure water: that is not true. It is only an approximation and that has been the case since 1964 - FIFTY YEARS AGO - when the definition of the litre was changed.

Some dilute sulfuric acid H2SO4 has a concentration of 4.90g per dm3 what is the concentration in mol per dm3?

The molar mass of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is 98 g/mol. To find the concentration in mol/dm3, you need to divide the mass concentration by the molar mass. So, 4.90g/dm3 รท 98 g/mol = 0.05 mol/dm3.


What is the mass of 39.6 dm3 of argon gas collected at STP?

The molar volume of any ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP) is 22.4 L/mol. Converting 39.6 dm3 to liters gives 39.6 L. To find the mass of argon gas, we calculate the number of moles using the ideal gas equation (PV = nRT) and then multiply by the molar mass of argon.

When is it helpful to use density?

If you do not know which material you have, knowing the density can help you identify it. Examples: Solid - water - noble gasCopper has a density of 8950 kg/m3 = 8.95 kg/dm3 = 8.95 g/cm3.Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 = 1000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL.Helium has a density of 0.1785 kg/m3 = 0.1785 g/L = 0.0001785 kg/dm3 = 0.0001785 kg/L =0.0001785 g/cm3 = 0.0001785 g/mL.


Please give me Density of some substances?

Examples for densities: Solid - water - noble gasCopper has a density of 8950 kg/m3 = 8.95 kg/dm3 = 8.95 g/cm3.Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 = 1000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL.Helium has a density of 0.1785 kg/m3 = 0.1785 g/L = 0.0001785 kg/dm3 = 0.0001785 kg/L =0.0001785 g/cm3 = 0.0001785 g/mL.
