Question

A piece of barium has a volume of

4.00 cm3. The density of barium
is 3.62 g/cm3. What is the mass
of the sample of barium?

Answer 1

Density, Volume and Mass

These three variables have a common equation:

`D=(m)/(V)`

Solving the Question:

We're given:

• V = 4.00 cm³
• D = 3.62 g/cm³

Isolate m in the equation:

`m=DV`

Plug these values into the equation:

`m=(3.62(g)/(cm^3))(4.00 cm^(3))\\\\m=14.48g`

Answer

The mass of the sample of barium is 14.48 g.
