Question

If the density of a 45.0 cm3 block of wood is 0.65 g/ml what is the mass of the wood?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt mass=29.25 \ grams}$

Explanation:

The density formula is mass over volume.

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

Rearrange the formula for the mass, m. Multiply both sides of the formula by v.

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

$d*v=m$

Mass can be found by multiplying the density and volume. The density is 0.65 grams per milliliter and the volume is 45.0 cubic centimeters.

• A cubic centimeter is equal to a milliliter.

• Therefore, 45 cubic centimeters also equals 45 milliliters.

$d= 0.65 \ g/mL\\v= 45 \ mL$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$0.65 \ g/mL * 45 \ mL=m$

Multiply. Note the milliliters, or mL will cancel out.

$0.65 \ g * 45=m$

$29.25 \ g=m$

The mass of the wood is 29.25 grams.
