Density (d) is mass (m) divided by volume (V) (d = mV). Mass is typically measured in grams (g), while volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL). How much volume will 550 g of a solution with a density of 1.10 g/mL occupy?
You have the problem spelled out so well, why not just use d = m/v or
v = m/d = 550 g/1.10 mL = ? mL.
To find the volume of the solution, we can use the formula for density:
Density (d) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)
Rearranging the formula, we get:
Volume (V) = Mass (m) / Density (d)
Given that the mass (m) is 550 g and the density (d) is 1.10 g/mL, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Volume (V) = 550 g / 1.10 g/mL
Simplifying the expression:
Volume (V) = 500 mL
Therefore, 550 g of the solution with a density of 1.10 g/mL will occupy a volume of 500 mL.
