Step-by-step explanation:
density = mass/ volume
= 262.2grams/46cm³
= 5.7grams per cubic centimeters approximately 6cm³
The approximate density of a mineral is 5.7 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex].
"The density of an object is the mass of the object compared to its volume. The equation for density is: Density = mass/volume."
Given
Mass (m)=262.2 g
V=46 cm3
density (d) = ?
The volume of the mineral is equal to the volume of water it displaced, because the density of water is 1 g/cm3
Formula for density is
d = [tex]\frac{m}{V}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{262.2 g }{46 cm^{3} }[/tex]
= 5.7 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex]
Hence, the approximate density of a mineral is 5.7 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex].
