Question

Please explain thoroughly (8 & 9). Step by step. This is an ungraded assignment (which will not be collected but is used for resources like studying).

10. (1.93) Cadmium has a density of 8.65 g/cm³ and beryllium, the lightest metal, has a
density of 1.85 g/cm³.
a. What volume (in cubic centimeters) is occupied by 25.0 g of cadmium?
b. What volume (in cubic centimeters) is occupied by 25.0 g of beryllium?
C. What is the mass (in pounds) of a cube of cadmium with a dimension of 5 inches
on a side?
11. (1.99) Assume that the building blocks used to make DNA are pennies, each of which is
1.55 mm thick. If 3 billion pennies are stacked on one another, as happens in DNA with
its building blocks, how tall would the stack be (in meters)?
