Question

Calculating Density A sample of a sub-

stance with a mass of 85 g occupies a vol-
ume of 110 cm What is the density of
the substance? Will the substance float
in water? Explain your answer:

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

From the question we have

`density = (85)/(110) \\ = 0.772727272...`

We have the final answer as

0.77 g/cm³

The substance will float on water since it's density is less than that of water which is

1 g/cm³.

Hope this helps you
