Question

A student measures the mass of a 6.0 cm3 block of brown sugar to be 10.0 g. What is the density of the brown sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.67g/cm3

Explanation:

The formula for density is $d=\frac{m}{v}$ . The m variable stands for mass and the v variable stands for volume.

The mass of the brown sugar is 10.0g and the volume is 6.0cm3, so we can plug those values into the equation.

$d=\frac{10g}{6cm^{3} }$

$d=1.67$$\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$

Rounded to 3 significant figures, the density of the block of brown sugar is 1.67 g/cm3. If the mass is in grams and the volume is in cm3, the unit for the final answer is $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ (grams per centimetres cubed).

Answer 2
