Question

The density of silver (Ag) is 10.5000 g/cm^3. How do you find of Ag that occupies 965 cm^3 of space?

Answer 1

To find the mass, multiply the density by the volume.

Explanation:

`rho,"density"` `=` `"Mass"/"Volume"`.

And thus `"Mass"` `=` `rhoxx"volume"`

`=` `10.500*g*cm^-3xx965*cm^3`

`=` `10132.5*g`.

Silver currently sells for `$0-63" USD "g^-1`. How much is your lump worth?
