Question

Solid block of exactly 100.0cm3 has a mass of 153.6 g. Determine it's density.

Answer 1

`1.536 g/cm^3`is the density of the solid block.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the solid block= m = 153.6 g

Volume of the solid block = V =
`100.0cm^3`

Density of the solid block,d = ?

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

`d=(m)/(V)=(153.6 g)/(100.0cm^3)=1.536 g/cm^3`

`1 mL =1 cm^3`

`1.536 g/cm^3`is the density of the solid block.

Answer 2

The density of an object is defined to be the mass of the object divided by its volume. For this problem, the mass of the object is 153.6 g while its volume is 100.0 cm^3. Thus, we simply divide 153.6 g by 100.0 cm^3 to get the solid block's density. We then obtain its density to be equal to 1.536 g/cm^3. It should also be noted that the density of an object gives a sense of how compact the object is.
