Question

Using a mass of 1.8 g and the volume displaced by the sample, calculate the sample's density. A) 0.17 g/mL B) 0.35 g/mL C) 0.60 g/mL D) 0.78g/mL

Answer 1

The answer to that probably would be C excuse me if I am wrong.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of any element is calculated as:

`d=(m)/(v)`

Were d= density, m= mass and v=volume. Since we doesn't know the volume, lets do the calculation of the volume displaced for each option (a, b,c,d)

Clear m from the previous equation, so we have:

`v=(m)/(d)`

for a)

`v=(1.8)/(0.17) =10.58 mL`

for b)

`v=(1.8)/(0.35) =5.14 mL`

for c)

`v=(1.8)/(0.6) =3 mL`

for d)

`v=(1.8)/(0.78) =2.3mL`

So, just compare the given volume displaced match it with your density and that is the answer.
