Question

The mass unit associated with density is usually grams. If the volume (in mL or cm3) is multiplied by the density (g/mL or g/cm3) the volume units will cancel out, leaving only the mass units. Keep in mind that the volume and density must use the same volume unit for the cancellation.
If a large marshmallow has a volume of 3.25 in3 and density of 0.242 g/cm3, how much would it weigh in grams? 1 in3=16.39 cm3.

Answer 1

12.89g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of marshmallow = 3.25in³

Density of marshmallow = 0.242g/cm³

Unknown:

Mass of the marshmallow = ?

Solution:

Density is defined as the amount of substance per volume of space.

Density  = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

The unknown is mass;

  Mass of marshmallow = Density x volume

Now;

  convert the given volume to cm³:

                   1in³ = 16.39cm³

                 3.25in³ = 3.25 x 16.39 = 53.27cm³

Input the parameters in the expression;

  Mass of marshmallow = 0.242$\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$  x 53.27cm³ = 12.89g

 This gives 12.89g
