Question

A student measures the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar to be 4.49 grams. Determine the density of powdered sugar.

Answer 1

The density of powdered sugar is
`0.561 g/cm^3`

Explanation:

We are given that A student measures the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar to be 4.49 grams

Mass of block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar = 4.49 grams

Volume of block = 8 cubic cm

We are supposed to find the density of powdered sugar.

So,
`Density = (Mass)/(Volume)`

`Density = (4.49)/(8)`

Density =
`0.561 g/cm^3`

Hence the density of powdered sugar is
`0.561 g/cm^3`
