Question

given mass of solid 13.6 g calculate the dencity of the solid

Answer 1

Answer:

Density will have units of

g

m

L

when dealing with a liquid or units of

g

c

m

3

when dealing with a solid.

The mass has units of grams,

g

.

The volume will have units of

m

L

or

c

m

3

We are given the density and volume, both of which have good units so all we have to do is rearrange the equation to solve for the mass:
