Question

the mass of a 2.0 centimeter³ sample of a substance is 3.2 grams. calculate the density of the substance. type the correct answer in the box. the density of this substance is grams/centimeter³.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density ($
ho$) = $\frac{mass(m)}{volume(V)}$

Step2: Substitute given values

Given $m = 3.2$ grams and $V=2.0$ $cm^{3}$, so $
ho=\frac{3.2}{2.0}$

Step3: Calculate density

$
ho = 1.6$ grams/$cm^{3}$

Answer:

1.6
