Question

A standard weight used to calibrate balances has a mass of 100.00 g and a volume of 12.0 mL. What is the density of this standard weight in g/mL?
88.0 g/mL
8.33 g/mL
0.12 g/mL
7.33 g/mL

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 8.33 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

From the question

mass = 100 g

volume = 12 mL

We have

$density = \frac{100}{12} = \frac{25}{3} \\ = 8.333333...$

We have the final answer as

8.33 g/mL
