Question

A sample of an unknown liquid has a volume of 12.0 mL and a mass of 6 g. What is its density?

A. 2 g/cm3
B. 0.5 g/cm
C. 5.0 g/cm3
D. 0.2 g/cm3

Answer 1

`\large \mathfrak{Solution : }`

volume = 12 ml = 0.012 litres = 0.012 cm³

mass = 6 g

And the relationship between mass, volume and density can be depicted by :

• 
  `\boxed{density = (mass)/(volume) }`

• 
  `density = (6)/(0.012)`

• 
  `density = (6000)/(12)`

• 
  `density = 500 \: \: g/cm {}^(3)`

therefore, density = 500 g/cm³
