Question

a 26.0 g sample of a liquid was found to have a volume of 13.0 ml. what is the density of the liquid?
a) 39.0 g/ml
b) 338 g/ml
c) 2.00 g/ml
d) 0.500 g/ml

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density ($
ho$) is defined as mass ($m$) divided by volume ($V$), so the formula is $
ho = \frac{m}{V}$.

Step2: Substitute values

Given mass $m = 26.0$ g and volume $V = 13.0$ mL. Substitute into the formula: $
ho=\frac{26.0\ \text{g}}{13.0\ \text{mL}}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{26.0}{13.0}=2.00$ g/mL.

Answer:

C) 2.00 g/mL
