Question

What is the density of lead (in g/cm^3 3 ) if a rectangular bar measuring 0.500 cm in height, 1.55 cm in width, and 25.00 cm in length has a mass of 220.9 g? Report the answer with the units of g/cm^3 3 and the proper number of significant figures. Numbers in bold count towards significant figures. Type your answer here with correct significant figures and units:

Answer 1

Answer:

Density = 11.4 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of lead = ?

Height of lead bar = 0.500 cm

Width of lead bar = 1.55 cm

Length of lead bar = 25.00 cm

Mass of lead bar = 220.9 g

Solution:

Density = mass/ volume

Volume of bar = length × width × height

Volume of bar = 25.00 cm × 1.55 cm × 0.500 cm

Volume of bar = 19.4 cm³

Density of bar:

Density = 220.9 g/ 19.4 cm³

Density = 11.4 g/cm³
