A student measures the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of brown sugar to be 13g.what is the density of the brown sugar
The density of the brown sugar can be calculated using the formula:
Density = mass / volume
We are given the mass of the brown sugar as 13g. To find the volume, we need to remember that:
Volume = length x width x height
Since the block is a cube, all sides have the same length of 8 cm. Therefore:
Volume = 8 cm x 8 cm x 8 cm = 512 cm^3
Now we can calculate the density:
Density = 13g / 512 cm^3 โ 0.025 g/cm^3
So the density of the brown sugar is approximately 0.025 g/cm^3.
