The mass of a solid substance is 21.1164 g. If the volume of
the solid substance is 19.9 cm3, calculate the density of the
substance with the correct number of significant digits.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The density of the  substance is 1.0611 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex]

Explanation:

The density of a substance is a characteristic property that matter, whether solids, liquids or gases, has to be compressed in a given space, that is, it allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Density is expressed as follows:

[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

In this case:

  • density: ?
  • mass: 21.1164 grams
  • volume: 19.9 cm³

Replacing:

[tex]density=\frac{21.1164 grams}{19.9 cm^{3} }[/tex]

density= 1.0611 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex]

The density of the  substance is 1.0611 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex]
