Answer:

Density = 1.11 g/cm³, will not float on water

Explanation:

Assuming the other dimension missing is 4.0 cm

Then we can find the volume of the piece of wood.

Volume = Length × width × height

Volume = 6.0 cm × 3.0 cm × 4.0 cm

= 72 cm³

We are required to find the density of the wood.

Density = mass ÷ Volume

Mass of the wood = 80.0 grams

Therefore;

Density = 80.0 g ÷ 72 cm³

= 1.11 g/cm³

Hence, the density of the wood is 1.11 g/cm³

Water has a density of 1 g/cm³ and therefore the wood will not float since it is denser than water.

Juliette [100K]

Volume = 3 cm × 3cm × 3cm
= 27 cm ³

Mass = 213 g

Density = $\frac{MASS}{VOLUME}$

= <span> $\frac{213 g}{27 cm ^{3} }$
</span>
<span> = 7.89 g / cm³

Thus answer is D.</span>

I have asked this question before but I was not clear enough. I want to prepare a 37% w/w solution (in water)of sulfuric acid fr

Zarrin [17]

Actually you have now a roport of 4:96 water to acid . All you have to do is add water to bring the raport to 37 acid and 63 water.
You need to have 0.5L mixture so
you have to have 18.5acid and the rest water 31.5
so for 18.5 acid you need to add 192.7 ml 96% acid and the rest water
