Question 2.29: Calculating Density An object has a mass of 23.4 g and displ......

GIVEN:

m = 23.4 g

V = 5.7 mL

FIND: density in g/mL

SOLUTION MAP

m, V\underset{ d= \frac{m}{V}}{\longrightarrow } d

RELATIONSHIPS USED

d= \frac{m}{V} (definition of density)

SOLUTION

d= \frac{m}{V}=\frac{23.4  g}{5.7  mL} = 4.11 g/mL = 4.1 g/mL

The units (g/mL) are units of density. The answer is in the range of values for the densities of liquids and solids (see Table 2.4).
