2 the density of zinc is 7.1 grams per cubic centimeter. the table shows the mass (in grams) and the volume (in cubic centimeters) of four substances. substance mass (grams) volume (cubic centimeters) 1 3.0 21.3 2 7.1 0.5 3 14.2 2.0 4 2.2 4.9 which of these substances is zinc?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall density formula
The density formula is $\rho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $\rho$ is density, $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.
Step2: Calculate density of Substance 1
$\rho_1=\frac{m_1}{V_1}=\frac{3.0}{21.3}\approx0.14$ g/cm³
Step3: Calculate density of Substance 2
$\rho_2=\frac{m_2}{V_2}=\frac{7.1}{0.5} = 14.2$ g/cm³
Step4: Calculate density of Substance 3
$\rho_3=\frac{m_3}{V_3}=\frac{14.2}{2.0}=7.1$ g/cm³
Step5: Calculate density of Substance 4
$\rho_4=\frac{m_4}{V_4}=\frac{2.2}{4.9}\approx0.45$ g/cm³
Answer:
Substance 3
