Question

The volume of a piece of rock was 18.0 cm^3. The student measured the mass of the piece of rock as 48.6 g. Calculate the density of the rock in g/cm^3.

Answer 1

Density of rock piece = 2.7 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of rock piece = 18 cm³

Mass of rock piece = 48.6 gram

Find:

Density of rock piece

Computation:

We know relation between density, mass and volume,

Density = Mass / Volume

Density of rock piece = Mass of rock / Volume of rock

Density of rock piece = 48.6 / 18

Density of rock piece = 2.7 g/cm³
