Question

What is the density of a piece of quartz with a mass of 30g and a volume of 6cm^3

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= 5 \ g/cm^3}}$

Explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

$d=\frac{m}{v}$

The mass of the quartz is 30 grams and the volume is 6 cubic centimeters.

$m=30 \ g \\v= 6 \ cm^3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$d=\frac{30 \ g}{6 \ cm^3}$

Divide.

$d= 5 \ g/cm^3$

The density of this piece of quartz is 5 grams per cubic centimeter.
