Question

At his favorite restaurant, Dylan orders a soda with his dinner. The ice in his drink has a mass of 6 g and a volume of 20 cm3. What is the density of the ice? Explain the steps you took to solve this problem, showing your work.

Answer 1

d = 0.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

Mass = 6 g

Volume = 20 cm³

Density = ?

Solution:

d = m/v

d = 6g/20 cm³

d = 0.3 g/cm³
