A certain sample of a pure quartz crystal has a mass of 276 grams and a volume 95.8cm^3.
-what is the mass density of the sample?
-what would be the volume of a larger quartz crystal of the same density if its mass is 1.138 kg?
Help please!! Have been struggling with this problem for an hour now and still can't get anywhere. Thank you!!
density = mass / volume
volume = mass/density
I would do it all in cm^3 and grams
1 kg = 1,000 grams
thank you!!
To find the mass density of the sample, you can use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the mass of the quartz crystal is 276 grams and the volume is 95.8 cm^3, you can plug those values into the formula to get:
Density = 276 g / 95.8 cm^3
Calculating this division will give you the mass density in g/cm^3.
To find the volume of a larger quartz crystal with the same density, you can use the same formula rearranged to solve for volume:
Volume = Mass / Density
Given that the mass of the larger quartz crystal is 1.138 kg (which can be converted to grams by multiplying by 1000) and you know the density from the previous calculation, you can plug those values into the formula to get:
Volume = (1.138 kg * 1000 g/kg) / (mass density)
Calculating this division will give you the volume of the larger quartz crystal in cm^3.
Remember to convert any units as necessary to ensure they are consistent in the calculations.
