A rock weighing 30.0g is placed in a graduated cylinder displacing the volume from 22.3 ml to 27.6ml. what is density of the rock in grams/cubic centimeters?

Respuesta :

Density=mass / volume

Data:
mass=30.0 g
volume=volume with rock - volume without rock=27.6 ml - 22.3 ml=5.3 ml

1 ml=cm³  ⇒ 5.3 ml=5.3 cm³

Therefore:

Density=30.0 g / 5.3 cm³=5.66 g/cm³


Answer: density = 5.66 g/cm³

The density of the rock is 5.66 g/cm³.

What is density?

  • Density is the amount of mass per unit of volume.
  • Density is the space occupied by a substance (volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that substance (mass)
  • If an object is heavier and compact, it has an higher density.
  • If an object is light and takes up a lot of space, it has a low density.
  • The formula for density is D = m/V

where m = mass of the object in kg or g

           V = volume in cm³or m³

Given:

mass=30.0 g

volume = volume with rock - volume without rock

             = 27.6 ml - 22.3 ml

             =5.3 ml

1 ml = cm³  

5.3 ml = 5.3 cm³

Density = mass / volume

Density = 30.0 g / 5.3 cm³

            = 5.66 g/cm³

Hence, the density of rock is 5.66 g/cm³
