Question

A chunk of paraffin (wax) has a mass of 50.4 grams and a volume of 57.9 cm3. What is the density of

paraffin?

Answer 1

`Formula\ for\ density:\\\\ p=(m)/(V)\\p-density,\\m-mass,\\V-volume\\\\ Data:\\ m=50,4grams\\ V=57,9cm^3\\\\ p=(50,4g)/(57,9cm^3)=0,87(g)/(cm^3)\\\\Density\ of\ paraffin\ is\ equal\ to\ 0,87(g)/(cm^3).`
