Problem
A plastic medicine cup is designed to hold a maximum volume of 30mL of cough syrup. The syrup’s density is advertised by the manufacturer to be 1.3gcm−3.
(a) Determine the mass of cough syrup contained when the cup is completely filled to the 30mL mark. Express your answer in grams.
(b) Convert your answer in part (a) to kilograms.
(c) The cup is accidentally over-filled to 35mL. Without repeating the calculation from scratch, explain qualitatively whether the mass of syrup now in the cup is greater than, less than, or equal to the value found in part (a), and state the reasoning behind your answer.
