Question

The denser a substance, the more tightly packed it is. The table below shows the volume and mass of two different substances. Comparison of Substances Substance Volume (cm3) Mass (g) R 22 10 S 55 25 Which of the two substances is more tightly packed? Object R is more tightly packed. Object S is more tightly packed. Both objects are packed equally tightly. This cannot be determined.

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Both objects are packed equally tightly.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Substance R we have

mass = 10 g

Volume = 22 cubic cm

So we know that density is defined as

`\rho = (m)/(V)`

here we have

`\rho = (10 g)/(22 cm^3)`

`\rho = 0.454 g/cm^3`

For substance S we have

mass = 25 g

Volume = 55 cubic cm

So we know that density is defined as

`\rho = (m)/(V)`

here we have

`\rho = (25 g)/(55 cm^3)`

`\rho = 0.454 g/cm^3`

So here both have same density

so correct answer would be

Both objects are packed equally tightly.
