What is the density of an object that has a mass of 550 grams and displaces 25 mL of water? Select all that apply
-22mL/g
-.04 mL/g
-22 g/mL
-22 g/cm 3
22 g/ml
To find the density of an object, you need to divide its mass by its volume. The given mass of the object is 550 grams, and it displaces 25 mL of water.
So, to find the density, you divide the mass (550 grams) by the volume (25 mL):
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 550 grams / 25 mL
Now, let's simplify the units. Remember that 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm³.
Density = 550 grams / 25 cm³
Simplifying further, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 25:
Density = 22 grams / cm³
So, the correct answer is:
- 22 g/cm³
