Question

A material has a density of 8.9 g/cm^3. You have 3 grams of the substance. How much space does it take up? a. 0.3cm3 b. 3.0 cm3 c. 5.9 cm3 d. 27 g/cm3

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of the material is $0.3\ cm^3$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Density of a material, $d=8.9\ g/cm^3$

Mass of the material, $m=3\ gm$

We need to find the volume occupied by the material. The formula for the density is given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$V=\dfrac{m}{d}$

$V=\dfrac{3\ g}{8.9\ g/cm^3}$

$V=0.33\ cm^3$

So, the space occupied by the material is $0.3\ cm^3$. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

D = m/ V

8.9 = 3 / V

V = 3 / 8.9

V = 0.3 cm³

Answer A

hope this helps!
