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)?
