Problem 2.67
A gem has a mass of 5.00 g. When the gem is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 10.00 mL of water, the water level rises to 14.45 mL. Express the density in grams per milliliter to three significant figures.
Answer:
Density = mass/volume
Density = 5.00 g / (14.45 mL - 10.00 mL)
Density = 5.00 g / 4.45 mL
Density = 1.124 g/mL
Part D
A 3.50 mL sample of medication has a mass of 6.85 g. Express the density in grams per milliliter to three significant figures.
Answer:
Density = mass/volume
Density = 6.85 g / 3.50 mL
Density = 1.96 g/mL
