suppose you have samples of two metals,A and B. Use the data below to determine which sample occupies the largest volume..
A> mass 25g
density 10 g/ml
B> mass 65g
density 4.0 g/ml
After this, please type your School Subject in the appropriate box. By doing so, the right teacher is more likely to see and respond to your question.
Volume= mass/density
suppose you have samples of two metals,A and B. Use the data below to determine which sample occupies the largest volume
What don't you understand about using this formula?
Volume= mass/density
does it not matter if they are in g or g/ml?
Mass is in grams.
Density is in g/mL.
Use the formula and plug in the data.
mass = 25 g
density = 10 g/mL
volume = m/d = 25/10 = 2.5 mL
Metal B is done the same way, then compare the two volumes to determine which is larger.
To determine which sample occupies the largest volume, we need to calculate the volume of each sample using the given information. The formula for calculating volume is:
Volume = Mass / Density
Let's calculate the volumes for both samples:
For sample A:
Mass of A = 25g
Density of A = 10 g/ml
Volume of A = Mass of A / Density of A
= 25g / 10 g/ml
= 2.5 ml
For sample B:
Mass of B = 65g
Density of B = 4.0 g/ml
Volume of B = Mass of B / Density of B
= 65g / 4.0 g/ml
= 16.25 ml
Comparing the volumes of samples A and B, we can see that the volume of sample B is larger at 16.25 ml. Therefore, sample B occupies the largest volume.
