Question
An unknown substance has a mass of $56.8 \mathrm{g}$ and occupies a volume of $23.4 \mathrm{mL} .$ What is its density in g/mL? Check your answer to see whether it is reasonable.
Step 1
Density is defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume. It is represented as: \[D = \frac{M}{V}\] where \(D\) is the density, \(M\) is the mass, and \(V\) is the volume. Show more…
