How many liters is 5000 metric tons of liquid gas?

If something is liquid, it isn't a gas anymore.

To find the volume of a set mass of any gas under standard temperature and pressure, you need to calculate the number of moles present. Taking oxygen as an example it exist as O2 and one mole weighs 32 grams. 5000 tonnes is 5 billion grams ( 1000g to 1kg, 1000kg to 1 tonne), so the number of moles is 5 000 000 000 divided by 32, is 156 250 000 moles. The volume is 156 250 000 times 22.4 litres ( one mole of any gas has a volume of 22.4 litres under standard conditions), which is 3 500 000 000 litres, or 3 500 000 m3.

To calculate the volume of a liquid you need to know the density. Density is measured in kilograms per cubic metre. 5000 tonnes is 5 000 000 kg, so if you divide 5 000 000 by the density it will give you the volume in cubic metres, you then multiply this by 1000 to get litres.

How many grams in 3.64 kg?

Prefix 'kilo' is used to denote multiples of gram and uses factor 1000. Therefore to convert kilograms to grams, value in kilograms has to be multiplied by factor used with prefix 'kilo':

x kilograms = [kilograms] * 1000 = 3.614 * 1000 = 3614 grams

Within the metric system all units are based on the number?

water. its all based on water.

1m^3 of water is one liter.

1cm^3 is 0.01liter.

1mm^3 is 0.001liter.

thats how length is used in relation to volume in the metric system. the number that its all based on is 10. we have ten fingers, ten toes. our whole number system is based around ten. the metric system works in tens. imperial is messed up with divisions of 16.

think about it... one tonne metric is 1000kilograms... what is it imperial? 2000 something pounds. like that makes sense. or inches into a yard, or yards in a mile. its 100centimeters in a meter. 1000 meters in a kilometer. too easy.

Further answer

The questioner asks what NUMBER the metric system is based on. Water is not a number. However,. it's one of the things that can be measured by the metric system. And the other things are everything. The number the system is based on is ten.

However, the argument about whether it's better than the imperial system continues. Those who haven't used imperial don't see its advantages.

Which is larger 1 m or 10 mm?

1 m is larger than 10 mm.

Here are the details:


1 m = 1,000 mm = 100 cm

10 mm = 1 cm

100 cm > 1 cm

How do you convert winds in miles per hour to metric units?

1 knot means 1 nautical mile per hour. 1 nautical mile = 6,076 ft = (6,076/5,280) = 1.15076 statute (regular) mile Take the number of knots, multiply it by 1.15076, answer is mph.

What is 1 quarter of a meter in millimeters?

According to the question 1 quarter of a meter can be written as : 1/4 of a meter .Now , we have to convert 1?4 meter to mm.

The relation between m and mm can be seen as :

1 m=1000 mm.

Hence, 1/4 m =25 mm .

25 mm is 1 quarter of a meter.

What is the SI unit in horse breeding?

When measuring a horse, the unit we use is called a 'hand'. I forget exactly how many inches it is, but it comes from the distance between the tip of the thumb and little finger of an open adult palm. To measure, you go from the ground at the front hoof (either side) up to the withers (shoulders). I think 16h is about 64 inches.

What are some reasons the SI system uses metric unites and not the English system used in the US?

Advantages of switching. It would lead to more uniformity across the globe (of course everyone else could switch). We would not have to listen to pompous Europeans saying how great their system is (of course they would just find something else annoying to say). Disadvantages We would have to require many people to start using a system they are completely unfamiliar with. I am going to have to stick with the pompous European thing.

What is difference between the metric system and the imperial unit?

Imperial measurements are based on multiples of various numbers eg 16 ozs in a pound, 14 pounds in a stone etc.

Metric measurements are based on multiples of 10 eg 1000 grams in a kilogram etc.

This makes Metric measurements easier to use in calculations.
