A balance and a graduated cylinder are used to determine the density of a mineral sample. The sample has a mass of 14.7 g and a volume of 2.2 cm3. What is the density of the mineral sample?

Answer:

6.68g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is [ d = m/v ] where m = mass and v = volume.

We are given both "m" and "v" so we can solve using those variables.

d = 14.7/2.2

d ≈ 6.68

Best of Luck!

Answer:

The answer is

6.68 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass of mineral = 14.7 g

volume = 2.2 cm³

It's density is


density = (14.7)/(2.2) \\ = 6.681818181...

We have the final answer as

6.68 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
