A material has a density of 8.9 g/cm^3. You have 3 grams of the substance. How much space does it take up? a. 0.3cm3 b. 3.0 cm3 c. 5.9 cm3 d. 27 g/cm3
D = m/ V
8.9 = 3 / V
V = 3 / 8.9
V = 0.3 cm³
Answer A
hope this helps!
Answer:
Volume of the material is \(0.3\ cm^3\)
Explanation:
It is given that,
Density of a material, \(d=8.9\ g/cm^3\)
Mass of the material, \(m=3\ gm\)
We need to find the volume occupied by the material. The formula for the density is given by :
\(d=\dfrac{m}{V}\)
\(V=\dfrac{m}{d}\)
\(V=\dfrac{3\ g}{8.9\ g/cm^3}\)
\(V=0.33\ cm^3\)
So, the space occupied by the material is \(0.3\ cm^3\). Hence, this is the required solution.
