. A student finds a rock on the way to school. In the laboratory he determines that the volume of the rock is 22.7 cm3, and the mass in 39.943 g. What is the density of the rock? Round to the nearest tenth place (answer should look like #.#). Remember your units!
To find the density of the rock, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the mass of the rock is 39.943 g and the volume is 22.7 cm^3, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Density = 39.943 g / 22.7 cm^3
Dividing these values gives us:
Density = 1.758 g/cm^3
Rounding this value to the nearest tenth place, the density of the rock is approximately 1.8 g/cm^3.
To find the density of the rock, we need to use the formula: density = mass/volume.
Given:
Mass = 39.943 g
Volume = 22.7 cm³
Now, let's substitute the values into the formula:
Density = 39.943 g / 22.7 cm³
To find the answer, divide the mass by the volume:
Density = 1.76 g/cm³
So, the density of the rock is 1.76 g/cm³, rounded to the nearest tenth.
