Question

Bixbyite is a rare mineral with a density of 4.95 g/`cm^3` What is the volume of a piece of bixbyite with a mass of 101.97 g?

Answer 1

`"Volume"` `~=` `20*cm^3`

Explanation:

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

and thus, `"Volume"` `=` `"Mass"/rho` `=` `(101.97*cancelg)/(4.95*cancelg*cm^-3)=??cm^3`
