What is the density of a mineral if 427 g of the mineral occupy a volume of 35.0 mL?

Question

Accepted Answer

We need to solve for density, so we start by writing the formula for calculating density:

[latex]d=\frac{mass}{volume}[/latex]

Then we substitute the data given in the problem into the equation and solve:

mass = 427 g volume = 35.0 mL

[latex]d=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{427 g}{ 35.0 mL}=12.2 g/mL[/latex]
