16g of bone displaced a volume of 8mL of water.what is the density of the bone?
The bone must have sunk, so 8 mL (the displaced water volume) is the bone's volume.
The density would be 16 g/8 mL = 2.0 g/mL
To find the density of the bone, we need to use the formula:
density = mass / volume
Given that the mass of the bone is 16g and the displaced volume of water is 8mL, we can substitute these values into the formula:
density = 16g / 8mL
Before calculating, we need to ensure that the units are consistent. The density should be expressed in units of mass per unit volume, such as g/mL or g/cm³. In this case, let's convert mL to cm³:
1 mL = 1 cm³
So, the density of the bone is:
density = 16g / 8cm³
Calculating this:
density = 2 g/cm³
Therefore, the density of the bone is 2 g/cm³.
To calculate the density of the bone, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
In this case, the mass of the bone is given as 16g, and the volume of water displaced by the bone is given as 8mL.
Therefore, the density of the bone can be calculated as follows:
Density = 16g / 8mL
First, we need to convert 8mL to grams, as mass is provided in grams. The conversion factor we need is that 1g of water is equal to 1mL.
So, the density of the bone is:
Density = 16g / 8mL = 2g/mL
Therefore, the density of the bone is 2 grams per milliliter (g/mL).
