Question

4.) A sample of matter collected from an asteroid has been returned to Earth. You have analyzed it and

have found that the 6mL object has mass of 234g. Determine the density. Show your work:

Answer 1

The density of the asteroid sample is found by dividing its mass of 234g by its volume of 6mL, which results in a density of 39g/mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the density of the sample from the asteroid you would use the formula density = mass/volume. In this case, the mass of the object is 234g and the volume is 6mL.

Using the formula, we calculate the density as follows:

Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 234g / 6mL
Density = 39g/mL

Therefore, the density of the sample is 39g/mL.
