Question

you are give a bottle that contains 4.59cm3 of a metalic solid .the total mass of the bottle plus solid =35.66g .the empty bottle weighs 14.23g .what is the density of the solid

Answer 1

Density = 4.67 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density can be found using the following formula:

Density = mass (grams) / volume (cm³)

The mass of the solid can be found by subtracting the weight of the empty bottle from the weight of the bottle + solid.

35.66 g - 14.23 g = 21.43 g solid

Now that you have the volume and mass, you can determine the density via the formula.

Density = mass / volume

Density = 21.43 g / 4.59 cm³

Density = 4.67 g/cm³
