Tungsten is a dense metal that is used to make the filaments in incandescent light bulbs. A piece of tungsten has a volume of 5.2 cubic centimeters and a mass of 100 grams. What is the density of tungsten?
density = mass/volume. Substitute and solve for d.
DrBob222 I am 11 years old and in sped I don't understand your answer. Please give a little more detail.
To find the density of tungsten, you need to divide its mass by its volume.
The formula for density is:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the mass of the tungsten is 100 grams and the volume is 5.2 cubic centimeters, we can plug these values into the formula:
Density = 100 grams / 5.2 cubic centimeters
Now, we can calculate the density:
Density ≈ 19.23 grams per cubic centimeter
Therefore, the density of tungsten is approximately 19.23 g/cm³.
