Question

A slice of cheese has a mass of 40 g and a volume of 23 cm^3. What is the density of the cheese in units of g/cm^3 and g/mL?

Answer 1

The mathematical and proportional relationship between mL and $cm ^ 3$ said us that $1cm ^ 3$ is equivalent to 1mL.

If the density is considered as the amount of mass per unit volume we will have to

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

here,

m = mass

V = Volume

Replacing we have that

$\rho = \frac{40g}{23cm^3}$

$\rho = 1.739g/cm^3$

As $1mL = 1cm^3$ we have that the density in g/mL is,

$\rho = 1.739g/mL$
