Question

The density of an object is 10g/ml. The mass of the object is 5 grams. What is the volume of the object?Group of answer choices2 ml0.2 mi50 ml0.05 ml0.5 ml

Answer 1

1) List the known and unknown quantities.

Density: 10 g/mL.

Mass: 5 g.

Volume: unknown.

2) Set the equation

Equation of density

`D=\frac{mass\text{ }(g)}{volume\text{ }(mL)}`

3) Plug in the known quantities and solve for volume.

`10(g)/(mL)=\frac{5\text{ }g}{volume\text{ }(mL)}`
`Volume\text{ }(mL)=\frac{5\text{ }g}{10\text{ }(g)/(mL)}`
`Volume(mL)=0.5\text{ }mL`

The volume of the object is 0.5 mL.
