Question

The mass of a sample of carbon is 72.32 grams. The volume of the sample is 32 mL. The density of carbon is ____________________ g/mL.

Answer 1

Answer:

the density of the sample of the carbon is 2.26g/ml

Answer 2

The density of carbon is 2.26 g/mL

Explanation:

The expression for density is as;

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Density is directly proportional to the mass and it is inversely proportional to the volume.

It is given in the question that the mass of a sample of carbon is 72.32 grams. The volume of the sample is 32 mL.

Put mass= 72.32 g and Volume= 32 mL in the above expression to get the value of the density of carbon.

$Density = \frac{72.32 g}{32 mL}$

Density = 2.26 g/mL

Therefore, the density of carbon is 2.26 g/mL.
