Question

A rectangular block has dimensions 2.9 cm x 3.5 cm x 10.0 cm. the mass of the block is 615.0 g. what is the volume and density of the block? (answer it with correct numbers of significant figures)

Answer 1

Density is the ratio of the substance's mass to volume. It is an extensive property, meaning it does not depend on the amount of the substance. The ratio is always fixed per identity of a substance. The density is equal to:

V = 2.9 cm x 3.5 cm x 10.0 cm = 101.5 cm³
Density = 615 g/101.5 cm³ = 6.06 g/cm³
