Answer:

Mass of lava is 8370 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

density of lava = 3.1 g/cm³

volume= 2700 cm³

mass= ?

Solution:

d = m/v

m = d×v

m = 3.1 g/cm³×2700 cm³

m = 8370 g
