Question

A standard weight used to calibrate balances has a mass of 100.00 g and a volume of 12.0 mL. What is the density of this standard weight in g/mL?

88.0 g/mL
8.33 g/mL
0.12 g/mL
7.33 g/mL

Answer 1

The answer is 8.33 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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

`density = (mass)/(volume) \\`

From the question

mass = 100 g

volume = 12 mL

We have

`density = (100)/(12) = (25)/(3) \\ = 8.333333...`

We have the final answer as

8.33 g/mL
