Question

What is the density of a liquid with a mass of 17.4 g and a volume of 20 mL?

Answer 1

Answer:

The density of the liquid is 0.87 g/ml

Explanation:

Density = 17.4g divides 20ml = 0.87 g/ml (rounded to one significant figure)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 0.87 \ g/mL}$

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by dividing the mass by the volume, or using the formula below.

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

The mass of the liquid is 17.4 grams. The volume of the liquid is 20 milliliters. Therefore,

$m= 17.4 \ g\\ v=20 \ mL$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$d=\frac{17.4 \ g}{20 \ mL}$

Divide the values.

$d= 0.87 \ g/mL$

The density of the liquid is 0.87 grams per milliliter.
