1) Volume of the sample.

List known and unknown values

Density: 0.768 g/mL

Mass: 23.9 g

Volume:

2) Set the equation


\rho=(m)/(v)

ρ: Density

m: mass

v: volume

Plug in the known values and solve for v.


0.768(g)/(mL)=\frac{23.9\text{ g}}{v}
v=\frac{23.9\text{ g}}{0.768(g)/(mL)}=31.1mL

The volume of the sample is 31.1mL.
