Question

The volume of 5 grams of a substance is 2 cm cubed. Calculate the density. What might this substance be?

Answer 1

Answer:

ρ

=

2.5

⋅

g

⋅

c

m

3

...

...

...

...

Explanation:

ρ

=

Mass

Volume

=

5

⋅

g

2

⋅

c

m

3

,

and thus typically it has the units

g

⋅

m

L

−

1

or

g

⋅

c

m

−

3

.

Here,

mass

=

5

⋅

g

, and

volume

=

2

⋅

c

m

3

.
