Density is a ratio between the mass and the volume of a substance.It measures how much of a substance is packed into a set volume. Density increases when a larger amount of material is packed into a smaller volume. The same is true in opposite: density decreases when a smaller amount of a substance is packed into a larger volume.
To calculate density, we will take the total given mass of the substance and divide it by the total volume of its container.
In this problem, we have a mass of 86 grams and a volume of 25cm^3.
Density= mass/volume
Substitute the given values into the formula:
Density=86 grams/25 cm^3
Density=3.44 grams/cm^3
The density of the material is 3.44 g/cm^3.
