Answer:

Density= 2.78 g/cm³

Relative density=2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the density of the cube we have to use the formula ρ=mass/volume

ρ stands for density.

So now we don't have the volume of the cube and to find the volume of the cube we have to use the formula a³

3³= 9 cm³

Now plug in the values. ρ= 25 g/9 cm³

ρ= 2.78 g/cm³

To find the relative density, we have to use the formula ρsample/ρH20

The sample means the density of the substance earlier. We do not know the density of water but it is constant at 997 kg/m³.

Now we have to make the units same so you change the unit of the density of cube to kg/m³

So, 25/1000= 0.025 kg

9/100×100×100 (because cm³ which means that there should be 3 meters to change the unit and to conver cm to meter we need to divide by 100 so 9cm/100, 9cm²/100×100, 9cm³/100×100×100)

=0.000009 m³

The new density= 0.025 kg/ 0.000009 m³

= 2777.78 kg/m³

Now plug the values into the formula:

relative density= 2.777.78 kg/m³ / 997 kg/m³

=2.8

There is no unit since kg/m³ and kg/m³ cancels
