Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass = 9.5g
Volume = 2.1cm³
Unknown:
What kind of substance is this = ?
Solution:
To determine the kind of substance given, we need to find its density from the given parameters.
The density of a substance can tell us about such body.
Density is an intensive property and it is the mass per unit volume.
Density = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Density = [tex]\frac{9.5}{2.1}[/tex] = 4.52g/cm³
The substance will most likely be a solid.
