Question

If a solid has a density of 4.0 g/cm^3, what volume provides 24 g of that solid? Show work.

Answer 1

Answer: 6 cm^3

This is the same as saying 6 cubic cm

====================================================

Work Shown:

d = density = 4 g/cm^3

m = mass = 24 g

v = volume = unknown

--------------

d = m/v

4 = 24/v

4v = 24 .... multiply both sides by v

v = 24/4 .... divide both sides by 4

v = 6 cm^3
