Question

The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm3 . If a block of ice has a volume of 2300 cm3, what is its mass?

a.2116 grams


b.2500 grams


c.0.0004 grams

Answer 1

The mass of the ice block is 2116 grams ⇒ a

Explanation:

The formula of density is
`p=(m)/(V)` , where m is the mass and V is the volume

To find the mass from this formula multiply both sides by V,

then m = p.V

∵ The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm³

∴ p = 0.92

- That means the mass of 1 cm³ is 0.92 g

∵ The volume of an ice block is 2300 cm³

∴ V = 2300

- Use the formula of the mass

∵ m = p.V

- Substitute the values of p and V in it

∴ m = (0.92)(2300)

∴ m = 2116 grams

The mass of the ice block is 2116 grams
