What mass of lead has the same volume as 1600 kg of petrol?
To determine the mass of lead that has the same volume as 1600 kg of petrol, we first need to know the density of both substances. The density of petrol is approximately 750 kg/m³, while the density of lead is about 11,343 kg/m³. The volume of 1600 kg of petrol is about 2.13 m³ (1600 kg ÷ 750 kg/m³). Using the volume of petrol, the mass of lead that occupies the same volume is approximately 24,000 kg (2.13 m³ × 11,343 kg/m³).
Was lead removed from petrol because it was dangerous or it was cheaper to produce with out it?
dangerous.....
