Question

1. calculate the density of a substance that has a mass of 197.24 g and a volume of 227.16 cm³. • show your work (write in the formula) • round your answer to the correct number of decimals • label your answer with the correct unit(s).

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the density formula

The formula for density ($
ho$) is $
ho = \frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.

Step2: Substitute the given values

We are given $m = 197.24\ \text{g}$ and $V = 227.16\ \text{cm}^3$. Substituting these into the formula, we get $
ho=\frac{197.24}{227.16}$.

Step3: Perform the division

Calculating $\frac{197.24}{227.16}\approx0.868$.

Answer:

The density of the substance is approximately $0.868\ \text{g/cm}^3$.
