Question

A spoonful of sugar with a mass of 8.8 grams is poured into a graduated cylinder. The volume reading is 5.5 mL. What is the density of the sugar?

Answer 1

To find density you divide mass by volume. (d=m/v) 

Answer 2

The density of the sugar is 1.6 g/ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 8.8 grams

Volume = 5.5 ml

We need to calculate the density of the sugar

Using formula of density

`\rho=(m)/(V)`

Where, m = mass

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

`\rho = (8.8)/(5.5)`

`\rho =1.6\ g/ml`

Hence, The density of the sugar is 1.6 g/ml.
