Chapter 1, Problem 79RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of silver in ${\text{gcm}}^{\text{-3}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Density is a characteristic property of a substance. The amount of matter an object has in comparison to its volume is known as density.

Density is defined as the mass per unit of volume of a substance and is represented by: $\text{density}=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$.

If two objects have equal mass, the object with less volume will be denser than the object with more volume.
