Question

Brianna wanted to compare the densities of two different solids of the same size 6cm3 (same volume) to see which one was more dense. Solid A had a mass of 2 grams and Solid B had a mass of 0.5 grams. (Density = Mass/volume)

this has to be done in CER form

Answer 1

Density of Solid A is greater than B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of Solid A = 2 g

Mass of solid B = 0.5 g

Volume of both solids = 6 cm3

To determine:

Densities of A and B

Calculation:

Density of a substance is the mass occupied by it in unit volume

`Density = (Mass)/(Volume)`

For Solid A:

`Density = (2\ g)/(6\ cm3) =0.33\ g/cm3`

For Solid B :

`Density = (0.5\ g)/(6\ cm3) =0.083\ g/cm3`

Therefore solid A is more dense than solid B
