Question

1. a mineral has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 50 cm³. what is its density? a. 5000 g/cm³ b. 2 g/cm³ c. 5 g/cm³ d. 150 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

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

Step2: Substitute values

Given $m = 100\ g$ and $V=50\ cm^{3}$, we substitute into the formula: $
ho=\frac{100\ g}{50\ cm^{3}}$.

Step3: Calculate density

$\frac{100}{50}=2\ g/cm^{3}$.

Answer:

B. $2\ g/cm^{3}$
