SUMMARY
The mass of 3.5 cubic meters of water at 25°C can be calculated using the fact that 1 cubic centimeter (1.0 cm³) of water has a mass of 1.0 x 10-3 kg. To find the mass, one must first convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters, knowing that 1 m³ equals 1,000,000 cm³. Therefore, the mass of 3.5 m³ of water is 3.5 x 1,000,000 x 1.0 x 10-3 kg, resulting in a total mass of 3,500 kg.
