The volume will vary depending on pressure and temperature.

The weighted average molecular mass of air is around 28.97 g/mole. This comes from percent calculation of the substances in air, like nitrogen and oxygen mostly. To know the volume of air, you must first ask at what pressure and temperature? I will assume standard P and T.

If you want to know the volume of a certain weigh of air, first find how many moles of air you have by dividing by the above amount

which equals

1.726 moles. Once you have the moles (n) of air, use the gas law PV=nRT

where R is 8.206 *10^-5 m^3*ATM/K*mol (be careful with units)

. Solving for V, you get V=nRT

/P. Using standard pressure of 1 ATM (pressure outside) and standard temperature (298K), 50g (1.726) of air would occupy .0422 m^3.

This can be reversed to find how many grams of air is in a given volume.
This gas law is not accurate with polar species because of strong intermolecular interactions, and only applies to "ideal gases". These theories get very deep and complex in thermodynamics, and are way beyond this discussion; but at low pressures and temperatures this law is pretty accurate.

What is the density of a piece of metal that has a volume of 10cm3 and a mass of 500g?

Volume = mass/volume = 500g/10cm3 = 50g/cm3


Does 500g of water occupy a space of 50ml?

Yes, 500g of water occupies a volume of 500ml, as 1g of water is equivalent to 1ml. Therefore, the volume of 500g of water is 500ml, not 50ml.


What is the density of 252ml and 500g?

Density is calculated using the formula Density = Mass / Volume. To find the density for the given values of 252mL and 500g, divide the mass by volume. Density = 500g / 252mL = 1.98 g/mL.

500g of cotton compared to 500g of metal which one is heavier?

500g of metal is heavier than 500g of cotton because metal is denser and has a higher mass-to-volume ratio. The weight of an object is determined by its mass, and in this case, the metal would weigh more than the cotton due to its higher density.

This cannot be sensibly answered. Milliliters (mL) is a measure of volume, grams is a measure of weight or mass.


If an object weight 500g in air and 400g in water. what is the upthrust on it?

We can't find the term "upthrust" in any of the myriad volumes in our vast reference library. If the object's weight balances the weight of a 500g standard while in air, and the weight of a 400g standard while in water, then the effect of the water is to produce an upward force on the object equal to the weight of a 100g standard, or 0.978 Newton. By Archimedes' principle, this is also the weight of the water displaced by the object, which tells us that the object has a volume very near 100 cc.
