question: Sulfur is a non metallic material that has a density of 2g/cm3. The volume of a sample of sulfur was measured to be 5.0cm3. What is the mass of the sulfur
Answer:
0.01 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of mass of a body and it's volume. The S.I unit of volume is kg/m³.
Therefore,
Density = mass/volume
D = m/V......................................................... Equation 1
making m the subject of the equation
m = D×V ................................... Equation 2
Given: D = 2 g/cm³ = 2000 kg/m³, V = 5.0 cm³ = 0.000005 m³
subtitute into equation 2
m = 2000×0.000005
m = 0.01 kg or 10 g
