Question

What is the mass of 10cm³ of oil?

Answer 1

depends on the density of oil. using `rho=m/V`

Explanation:

`m=rho*V`
generally density of oil is between 0.91 to 0.93 `g/(cm^3` therefore, mass of 10`cm^3`oil lies between 9.1 g to 9.3 g.

Answer 2

Around `9.2g` on average.

Explanation:

Density is given by the equation

`rho=m/V`

`m` is the mass of the substance (I'll use `g`)

`V` is the volume of the substance (I'll use `cm^3)`

Oil has a density between `0.91g"/"cm^3` and `0.93g"/"cm^3`, so I'll take the average density, which is `0.92g"/"cm^3`.

Solving for `m`, we get

`m=V*rho`

Plugging in the values we have found, therefore

`m=10cancel(cm^3)*0.92g"/"cancel(cm^3)=9.2g`
