Final answer:
The volume of 300 grams of lead with a density of 22.6 g/cm³ is approximately 13.3 cm³. This is determined using the formula Volume = Mass / Density, and the resulting volume aligns with option (a). There appears to be a typo in the density figure provided, but the calculation is based on the density given in the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking how to calculate the volume of lead when given its mass and density. To find the volume, you can use the formula for density, which is:
Density = Mass / Volume
Rearranging this formula to solve for volume gives:
Volume = Mass / Density
We are given a mass of 300.0 grams and a density of 11.34 g/cm³ for lead. Using these values:
Volume = 300.0 g / 11.34 g/cm³ = 26.4565 cm³
However, since the density provided in the question is 22.6 g/cm³, it seems there might be a typo. If we use the correct density from the question, the calculation would be:
Volume = 300.0 g / 22.6 g/cm³ = 13.2743 cm³
When rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume is approximately 13.3 cm³, which corresponds to option (a).
