Question

The graph shows the relationship between mass and volume for pure silver. Use the graph to determine the density of pure silver to the nearest tenth and complete the explanation of how do you find the density
The density is equal to the
A. Run
B. Rise
C. Slope
D. Degree

The density of sliver is approximately __ g/cm cube

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Slope and $10.49 g/cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We're missing the graph itself, but I can make an educated guess:

- Assuming x = volume and y = mass:

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

density = mass/volume

x = volume = run

y = mass = rise

mass/volume = rise/run = slope

The slope of the line (assuming the graph is purely linear) represents mass/volume, which is the formula for density.

I had to Google the density of silver itself. Do the math from the graph for a more appropriate answer, as the graph may be less scientifically precise.
