Question

A man has a 50.0 cm^3 bottle completely filled with 163 g of a slimy, green liquid. What is the density of the liquid?

Answer 1

`3.26g/(cm^3)`

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we'll use the formula below:

`"Density = (Mass)/(Volume)`

• Usually, density will have units of `g/(mL)` when dealing with a liquid or units of `g/(cm^3)` when dealing with a solid.

• The mass has units of grams, `g`.

• The volume can have units of `mL` or `cm^3`

We are given the mass and the volume, both of which have good units. All we have to do is plug the given values into the equation:

`Density =(163 g)/(50.0cm^3)`

Thus, the liquid has a density of `3.26 g/(cm^3)`.
