Question

The mass of a solid is 3.60 grams and its volume is 1.8 cubic centimeters. What is the density of the solid, expressed to the correct number of significant figures?

Answer 1

Density is ratio of mass and volume.
therefore Density is equal to mass/ volume
but mass =3.60gand volume =1.8cm3
therefore density is equal to 3.60/1.8
density = 2.0gcm3

Answer 2

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the solid = m = 3.60 g

Volume of the solid = V =
`1.8 cm^3`

Density of the solid ,d = ?

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

`d=(m)/(V)=(3.60 g)/(1.8 cm^3)=2.0 g/cm^3`

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