SOLVE Use the density formula to solve the following problems.
A sample of a substance has a volume of 60.5 mL and a density of
1.20 g/mL. What is the mass of the sample?
09

Answer 1

72.6g
The density formula is density equal mass divided by volume (d=m/v) to solve this you must get the mass by itself. You do this by multiply volume on both sides which then gets you density times volume equal mass. Then you can plug in the numbers which is 1.20g/mL x 60.5 mL the mL cancels out which leaves you with grams and thus you have 72.6g.
