Question

A piece of PVC plumbing pipe displaces 60 mL when placed into a container of water. If the pipe has a mass of 78g, what is the density of PVC?

Answer 1

use the equation d=m/v

your mass or "m" is 78 g

your volume or "v" is 60mL

if you plug those values into the equation it will look like this:

d=78/60
d=1.3g/mL should be what you come up with

Answer 2

Answer : The density of PVC pipe is 1.3 g/mL

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Formula used for density :

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

Given :

Mass of PVC pipe = 78 grams

Volume of PVC pipe = 60 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the density of PVC pipe.

`Density=(78g)/(60mL)`

`Density=1.3g/mL`

Therefore, the density of PVC pipe is 1.3 g/mL
