The formula for density is given by p=m/v where p is density, M is mass and V is volume. If a substance has a mass of 27.82 grams and a volume of 3.6 ml, what is the most accurate density of the substance in g/ml

7.7

7.7278

7.73

0.1

Verified Answer :

p = [27.82] ÷ [3.6] 
p = 7.727·
p = 7.728 (3dp) 

The answer is B)

Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

p = 7.7278 g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the density is given by:

\(p = \frac{m}{v}\)          .....[1]

where,

p is the density

m is the mass

v is the volume

As per the statement:

If a substance has a mass of 27.82 grams and a volume of 3.6 ml

⇒\(m = 27.82 g\) and \(v = 3.6 ml\)

Substitute in [1] we get;

\(p = \frac{27.82}{3.6} = 7.72777778 g/ml\)

Therefore, the most accurate  density of the substance in g/ml is, 7.7278
