a piece of silver is measured to have a mass of 26.25 grams. its volume is 2.5 cm³. what is the density of the piece of silver?
properties of matter

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the density formula

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

Step2: Identify given values

We are given that the mass $m = 26.25$ grams and the volume $V = 2.5$ $cm^3$.

Step3: Substitute values into the formula

Substitute $m = 26.25$ g and $V = 2.5$ $cm^3$ into the density formula: $
ho=\frac{26.25}{2.5}$.

Step4: Perform the division

Calculate $\frac{26.25}{2.5}=10.5$.

Answer:

The density of the piece of silver is $10.5$ grams per cubic centimeter (or $10.5$ $g/cm^3$).
