Question

The mass of the quartz crystal shown below is 10 grams, and its volume is 4 cm3. What is the density of quartz?

Answer 1

Answer:

${\boxed{\text{b. 2.5 g/cm}^{3}}}$

Explanation:

$\text{Density} = \dfrac{m}{V} = \dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

Data:

m = 10 g

V = 4 cm³

Calculation:

$\text{Density} = \dfrac{\text{10 g}}{\text{4 cm}^{3}} = \textbf{2.5 g/cm}^{3}\\\text{The density of the crystal is {\boxed{\textbf{2.5 g/cm}^{3}}} }$
