Question

Iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm^3. What volume would 12.5 g of iron occupy?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1.59 cm³

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

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

From the question

mass = 12.5 g

density = 7.87 g/cm³

We have

$volume = \frac{12.5}{7.87} \\ = 1.588310038...$

We have the final answer as

1.59 cm³
