Transcript text: What is the mass of the 0.962 kg sample in grams?
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
We need to convert the mass of a sample from kilograms to grams. The given mass is 0.962 kg.
Step 2: Conversion Factor
We know that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. This is the conversion factor we will use.
Step 3: Perform the Conversion
To convert kilograms to grams, we multiply the mass in kilograms by the conversion factor:
\[
\text{mass in grams} = \text{mass in kilograms} \times 1000
\]
Substituting the given mass:
\[
\text{mass in grams} = 0.962 \, \text{kg} \times 1000 \, \frac{\text{g}}{\text{kg}}
\]
