A 1.50 cm3 sample of metal is found to weigh 8.91 g. Calculate the density of the metal in units of g/cm3 and g/mL. Be sure to answer all parts.

Question

A 1.50 cm3 sample of metal is found to weigh 8.91 g. Calculate the density of the metal in units of g/cm3 and g/mL. Be sure to answer all parts.

Answer 1

ρ = m/V = (8.91 g)/(1.50 cm³) = ? g/cm³

 

Recall that a mL is the same as a cm³.

 

Plug in the numbers and evaluate.
