A miner finds a small mineral fragment with a volume of 5.74 cm3 and a mass of 14.4 g. What is the density of that mineral fragment?

(Points : 5)

2.00 g/cm3


2.51 g/cm3


5.00 g/cm3


10.0 g/cm3

The equation for density is mass over volume, because density is basically a measurement of the amount of mass in a certain volume (the amount of element-stuff squished into a certain three-dimensional space).  So, to find the density:

\(density=\frac{mass}{volume}\\density=\frac{14.4\ g}{5.74\ cm^3}\\density=2.5087\ g/cm^3\)

So, the answer is B) 2.51 g/cm3,
