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: \[ \text{mass in grams} = 0.962 \, \text{kg} \times 1000 \, \frac{\text{g}}{\text{kg}} \]

Step 4: Calculate the Result

\[ \text{mass in grams} = 0.962 \times 1000 = 962 \, \text{g} \]
