Question

A student measures the mass of an 8 cm' block of brown sugar to be 12.9 g. What is the density the brown sugar? ​

Answer 1

ρ

=

mass

volume

, here

ρ

≅

1.6

⋅

g

⋅

c

m

−

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Density

,

ρ

, is mass per unit volume and is thus defined as the quotient,

mass

volume

, and typically chemists use units of

g

⋅

c

m

−

3

or

g

⋅

m

L

−

1

.

And here this quotient is...........

12.9

⋅

g

8

⋅

c

m

3

; does this give the required units?

Note that

c

m
