An unknown substance has a mass of 53.9 g and occupies a volume of 35.4 mL. What is its density in g/mL?
density = mass/volume = 53.9/35.4 = ?
To find the density of a substance, you need to divide its mass by its volume. In this case, the mass is given as 53.9 g and the volume is given as 35.4 mL.
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
So, the density in g/mL is:
Density = 53.9 g ÷ 35.4 mL
To calculate this, divide the mass of 53.9 g by the volume of 35.4 mL:
Density = 1.524 g/mL
Therefore, the density of the unknown substance is 1.524 g/mL.
