Using data from Ms. Baltzers students, they found the mass of a piece of brown metal was 14.2 grams, and the volume of that same piece of metal was 1.8 mL. what is the density of the brown metal?

d = 7.9 g/mL

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL, kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D = density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given dа ta:

Mass of brown metal = 14.2 g

Volume = 1.8 mL

Density = ?

Solution:

d = m/v

d = 14.2 g/1.8 mL

d = 7.9 g/mL
