Convert 1.0L of Water to Pounds of Moon Rock

AI Thread Summary
To recover 1.0 L of water from moon rock, which contains 0.10 g of water per 100 g, the total mass of moon rock needed can be calculated using dimensional analysis. Given that the density of water is 1.0 g/mL, 1.0 L of water equals 1000 g. To find the mass of moon rock required, set up a conversion that accounts for the water content in moon rock. The calculations will show that a significant amount of moon rock must be processed to obtain the desired water volume. This problem highlights the importance of careful unit conversion and dimensional analysis in solving real-world resource recovery scenarios.

Homework Statement


Moon rock contains 0.10 g of water in every 100 g of moon rock. What mass of moon rock, in pounds, would a moon base have to process to recover 1.0 L of water?


Homework Equations


Density of water is 1.0 g/mL


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to convert the grams into pounds but that got me nowhere.

1) Set up your dimensional analysis table
2) Plug your known values into 1st column
3) Set the rest of the table so like units on top and bottom cancel each other

remember that 1 L = 1000 mL
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
