Question

A student measures the mass of a 6.0 cm3 block of brown sugar to be 10.0 g. What is the density of the brown sugar?

Answer 1

16g

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1.67g/cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for density is
`d=(m)/(v)` . The m variable stands for mass and the v variable stands for volume.

The mass of the brown sugar is 10.0g and the volume is 6.0cm3, so we can plug those values into the equation.

`d=(10g)/(6cm^(3) )`

`d=1.67`
`(g)/(cm^(3) )`

Rounded to 3 significant figures, the density of the block of brown sugar is 1.67 g/cm3. If the mass is in grams and the volume is in cm3, the unit for the final answer is
`(g)/(cm^(3) )` (grams per centimetres cubed).
