what is your question? collegechemistry 5+3 pts in november 1987, a massive iceberg broke loose from the antartic ice mass and floated free in the ocean. the chunk of ice was estimated to be 98 mi long, 25 mi wide, and 750 ft thick. a typical backyard swimming pool contains about 24,000 gallons of water. how many of these pools could you fill from the water in this iceberg? (assume the iceberg is a rectangular solid of the above dimensions and consists of water only). express answer in scientific notation.

The correct answer is  1.6 × 10¹⁰ .

The volume of ice chunk can be calculated by using the formula length × breadth × height

The length of the ice chunk given is 98 m, the breadth of the ice chunk given is 25 m and the thickness of the ice chunk given is 750 m,  

= 98 × 25 × 750 × 0.000189

= 347.9 m³

= 3.831 × 10¹⁴ gal

Water in swimming pool is 24000 gal

Therefore, number of pools that can be filled = 3.831 × 10¹⁴ / 24000

= 1.596 × 10¹⁰  

= 1.6 × 10¹⁰
