Question

Based on the data for the four samples, determine which of the following substances has the greatest density?Sample 1: volume = 15cm3mass = 30 gSample 2: volume = 20cm3mass = 66 gSample 3: volume = 3cm3mass = 12 gSample 4: volume = 48cm3mass = 100 g

Answer 1

Answer:

Sample 3 has the greatest density.

Explanation:

Density=mass/volume

Sample 1,

volume = 15cm³, mass = 30 g

Density = 30g/15cm³ = 2 g/cm³

Sample 2,

volume = 20cm³, mass = 66g

Density = 66g/20cm³ = 3.3 g/cm³

Sample 3,

volume = 3cm³, mass = 12g

Density = 12g/3cm³ = 4 g/cm³

Sample 4,

volume = 48cm³, mass = 100g

Density = 100g/48cm³ = 2.08 g/cm³

Out of 4 samples, the density of sample 3 is greatest of all.
