Question

The density of salt is 2.164 g/cm3. what is the volume of 48.0 g of salt. explain

Answer 1

The volume of 48 g of salt is 22.2
`cm^(3)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density of any object is defined as the mass of object occupied per unit volume. So in this case, the density of salt is given as
`2.164 g / c m^(3)`.

Also the mass is given as 48 g. Then,

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

As we know the mass and density, the volume can be found as

`Volume =(Mass)/(Density)`

`Volume = (48)/(2.164) =22.2 cm^(3)`

So, the volume of salt is 22.2
`cm^(3)`.
