An unknown object is placed on a balance, which then reads 6.118 g. Its volume is measured to be 3.04 cm3. Find the density of this object by dividing mass by volume.
so, do the division. your answer will, of course be in units of g/cm^3
To find the density of an object, you need to divide its mass by its volume. In this case, the mass of the object is given as 6.118 g and the volume is given as 3.04 cm³.
To calculate the density, you can use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
So, let's plug in the values:
Density = 6.118 g / 3.04 cm³
Now divide the mass by the volume:
Density = 2.01447 g/cm³ (rounded to 5 decimal places)
Hence, the density of the object is approximately 2.01447 g/cm³.
