A patient has 0.050 L of blood drawn and this volume of blood has a mass of 55.0 g. What is the density of the blood? Answer with the correct number of sig figs

I assume you know density = mass/volume. Substitute, show your work, and tell me what you think.

1100

right + wrong + wrong.

Right digits. Wrong for no units. Wrong number of significant figures.
I assume that is 55.0g/0.050L (which is why I wanted to see your work) = 1100; however, you are allowed only 2 significant figures (from the 0.050); therefore, the answer must be 1.1E3 g/L.
If you want to do it in g/mL, it is 55.0g/50 mL = 1.1 g/mL

To find the density of the blood, we need to use the formula:

Density = Mass / Volume

Given that the mass of the blood is 55.0 g and the volume is 0.050 L, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Density = 55.0 g / 0.050 L

Calculating this, we get:

Density = 1100 g/L

To express this answer with the correct number of significant figures, we consider the significant figures in the given values.

In the mass measurement, 55.0 g, the zero at the end of the decimal part indicates that it is a significant figure. Similarly, in the volume measurement, 0.050 L, the zero between the decimal point and the 5 is also significant.

Therefore, we must round the answer to three significant figures, resulting in:

Density = 1100 g/L (rounded to three significant figures)
