The mass of a cylinder filled with gas is 30 kg 250 g and the mass of the empty cylinder is 14 kg 480 g. How much is the mass of the gas contained in it?

Open in App

Solution

We know that 1 kg = 1000 g
Now, mass of the gas-filled cylinder = 30 kg 250 g = 30.25 kg
Mass of an empty cylinder = 14 kg 480 g = 14.48 kg

∴ Mass of the gas contained in the cylinder = 30.25 kg ‒ 14.48 kg
= 15.77 kg = 15 kg 770 g
