A student measures the mass 8cm3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar
Answer:
[tex]1.6\ g/cm^{3}[/tex]
Explanation:
Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as [tex]\rho=\frac {m}{v}[/tex] where [tex]\rho[/tex] is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be
[tex]\rho=\frac {12.9 g}{8 cm3}=1.6125\ g/cm^{3}\approx 1.6\ g/cm^{3}[/tex]
