Question

Calculate the mass of silver 6.0 ml of silver with a density of 10.5G/ml

Answer 1

Let's use the formula about density.

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$

Let's use the given magnitudes. The density is 10.5 g/mL but we need to approximate it to the whole number, and the volume is 6.0 mL.

$11(\frac{g}{mL})=\frac{m}{6.0mL}$

We have to multiply each side by 6.0 to find the mass.

$\begin{gathered} 11(\frac{g}{mL})\cdot6=\frac{m}{6.0mL}\cdot6 \\ m=66g \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the mass is 66 grams.
