Question

A student measures the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar to be 4.49 grams. Determine the density of powdered sugar.

Answer 1

Answer:

The density of powdered sugar is $0.561 g/cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A student measures the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar to be 4.49 grams

Mass of block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar = 4.49 grams

Volume of block = 8 cubic cm

We are supposed to find  the density of powdered sugar.

So, $Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$Density = \frac{4.49}{8}$

Density =$0.561 g/cm^3$

Hence the density of powdered sugar is $0.561 g/cm^3$
