What is the density of a substance with a mass of 45.00g and a volume of 26.4 mL
To find density, you need to divide the mass of the substance by its volume.
Density = Mass / Volume
Given:
Mass = 45.00g
Volume = 26.4 mL
First, we need to convert the volume from milliliters (mL) to cubic centimeters (cm³) because the units for density are typically expressed in g/cm³.
1 mL = 1 cm³
So, the volume is already in cubic centimeters.
Density = 45.00g / 26.4 cm³
Density ≈ 1.704 g/cm³
To find the density of a substance, you need to divide its mass by its volume. In this case, the mass is given as 45.00g and the volume is given as 26.4 mL.
So, the density can be calculated using the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 45.00g / 26.4 mL
However, to ensure consistent units, it is important to convert the volume to the proper unit. Since mass is given in grams (g), it is ideal to convert the volume to grams per milliliter (g/mL).
Density = 45.00g / 26.4 mL
= 1.7045454545454546 g/mL
Therefore, the density of the substance is approximately 1.70 g/mL.
