26) What is the density of a rock if it has a mass of 50 g and a volume of 10 mL? (You must show your work!)

Answer 1

1- Option A = Sink

2- Option B = Float

Step-by-step explanation:

1- If an object’s density is greater than 1.00 g/mL, it will sink in water.

For example, the density of aluminum is 2.7g/cm³. That is why it will sink in water.

2- If an object’s density is less than 1.00 g/mL, it will float in water.

For example, the density of oak is 0.7 g/cm³. That is why oak will float in water.

3- Given data:

Mass, m = 50 g

Volume, v = 10 cm3 ( 1ml = 1cm3)

Formula of density :

Density = mass/ volume

d = m/v

d = 50g/10cm3

d = 5 g/cm3
