    Given dа ta:

    Volume of calcite (V) = 15 cm³,

    mass of calcite (m) = 40.5 g,

    find the

    density of calcite (ρ) = ?

    density is defined as " it is the amount of matter of an object in a given volume". Simply it is the ratio of matter in an object to its volume. The unit of density is kg/m³ in SI system or g/cm³ in CGS system.

    Mathematically,

    density (ρ) = mass/volume

    = m/V g/cm³

    = 40.5 g/15 cm³

    = 2.7 g/cm³

    Hence, the density of calcite is 2.7 g/cm³
