Question

A sample of metal has a mass of 16.5916.59 g, and a volume of 5.815.81 mL. What is the density of this metal

Answer 1

Answer:

=> 2.8554 g/mL

Explanation:

To determine the formula to use in solving such a problem, you have to consider what you have been given.

We have;

mass (m)     = 16.59 g

Volume (v) =  5.81 mL

From our question, we are to determine the density (rho) of the rock.

The formula:

$p = \frac{m}{v}$

Substitute the values into the formula:

​$p = \frac{16.59 g}{5.81 mL} \\ = 2.8554 g/mL$

= 2.8554 g/mL

Therefore, the density (rho) of the rock is 2.8554 g/mL.
