A 1" x 1" 1/8" copper ingot has a density of 8.94 g/mL. 25 pellets were obtained from the ingot. Explain what would be the density of each pellet.
I went ahead and found the mass of the ingot which is 1.1175g but I'm still stumped on what to do from there.
* 1" x 1" x 1/8"
density is a physical property of a substance, it does not change if the substance is subdivided.
Density of pellets = density of ingot.
Now mass you determined. I have a great suspect it is wrong.
Volume of pellet=(2.54cm)^3 *1/8=
= 2.04 cm^3 check that.
Masspellet=8.94g/cm^3 * 2.04 not what you got.
To find the density of each pellet, you will need to use the mass and volume of the ingot.
First, let's calculate the volume of the copper ingot:
Given that the dimensions of the ingot are 1" x 1" x 1/8", the volume of the ingot can be calculated as follows:
Volume = length x width x height = 1" x 1" x 1/8"
Volume = 1/8 cubic inches
Next, we need to convert the volume into milliliters since the ingot density is given in g/mL:
1 cubic inch is approximately equal to 16.3871 milliliters (ml).
Volume in milliliters = 1/8 x 16.3871 ml
Volume in milliliters = 2.0484 ml
Now, we can calculate the density of each pellet. Since you obtained 25 pellets from the ingot, we will divide the mass of the ingot by the number of pellets:
Density of each pellet = Mass of ingot / Number of pellets
Density of each pellet = 1.1175 g / 25 pellets
Calculating this, we get the density of each pellet as:
Density of each pellet = 0.0447 g/pellet (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, each pellet would have a density of approximately 0.0447 g/mL.
To find the density of each pellet, we can start by calculating the volume of the ingot. The ingot is given as having dimensions of 1" x 1" x 1/8", which we can convert to metric units for consistency.
1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm, so the dimensions of the ingot are 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm x 0.3175 cm. Multiplying these values together will give us the volume of the ingot in cubic centimeters (cm³).
Volume = length x width x height = 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm x 0.3175 cm = 2.0323 cm³
Now, we know that the density of the ingot is 8.94 g/mL. Since the mass of the ingot is given as 1.1175 g, we can find the density using the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 1.1175 g / 2.0323 cm³
Now, we have the density of the ingot. To find the density of each pellet, we can divide the density of the ingot by the number of pellets obtained, which is 25.
Density of each pellet = Density of ingot / Number of pellets
Density of each pellet = (1.1175 g / 2.0323 cm³) / 25
By evaluating this expression, we can find the density of each pellet.
