Question

What is the density of a piece of quartz with a mass of 30g and a volume of 6cm^3

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= 5 \ g/cm^3}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

`d=(m)/(v)`

The mass of the quartz is 30 grams and the volume is 6 cubic centimeters.

`m=30 \ g \\v= 6 \ cm^3`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`d=(30 \ g)/(6 \ cm^3)`

Divide.

`d= 5 \ g/cm^3`

The density of this piece of quartz is 5 grams per cubic centimeter.
