In calculating density for an unknown sample we must divide its mass, 294.37g, by its volume, 87 mL. What is the correct density of the mineral calculated using rules you learned from multiplying and dividing with significant figures?

Answer

Density = 3.3836 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation

Density is given as

Density = (Mass/Volume)

Mass = 294.37 g

Volume = 87 mL

Density = (Mass/Volume)

Density = (294.37/87) = 3.3836 g/mL

Hope this Helps!!!
