Question

A certain material has a mass of 12.48 g while occupying 12.48 cm3 of space. What is this material?

Answer 1

This material has a density of 1 g/cm3.
(since 12.48 g/ 12.48 cm3 = 1 g/cm3)

Therefore, this material is water.

Answer 2

Answer: The material is water as it has density of
`1g/cm^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume. It is characteristic of a material.

`Density=(mass)/(Volume)`

Given : Mass of object =12.48 grams

Volume of the object =
`12.48cm^3`

Putting in the values we get:

`Density=(12.48g)/(12.48cm^3)`

`Density=1g/cm^3`

Thus the density of the material is
`1g/cm^3` and material is water which has density of
`1g/cm^3`.
