Chapter 2.1, Problem 2PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of a sample needs to be determined of a substancehas mass $20g$ and $4g/mL$ density.

Concept introduction:

The relation between density, volume and mass of a substance is as follows:

$Density= \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Answer to Problem 2PP

The volume is 5 mL

Explanation of Solution

In a statement, $Mass =20g$ and $Density=4g/mL$ and volume = ?

Now, to calculate the volume of the metal’s piece, use the formula of Density which is given below:

$Density= \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

By rearranging the above-mentioned formula,

$Volume= \frac{Mass}{Density}$

By putting the given value in this formula,

$Volume= \frac{20 g}{4.00g/mL}=5 mL$

$Thevolume=5mL$

Conclusion

$Thevolume=5mL$
