Chapter 6, Problem 95A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The variation of density with mass of sulfur is to be determined.

Concept Introduction :

The relation between mass, volume, and density is as shown:

  $\text{density}=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

Answer to Problem 95A

Density remains constant.

Explanation of Solution

The table showing mass, volume and density is as shown.

Mass (g)	Volume $\left({\text{cm}}^3\right)$	Density $\left(\text{g}/{\text{cm}}^3\right)$
$23.5$	11.4	$\frac{23.5\text{ g}}{11.4{\text{ cm}}^{\text{3}}}=\text{2}\text{.06 }\text{g}/{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$
60.8	29.2	$\frac{60.8\text{ g}}{29.2{\text{ cm}}^{\text{3}}}=2.08\text{g}/{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$
115	55.5	$\frac{115\text{ g}}{55.5{\text{ cm}}^{\text{3}}}=\text{2}\text{.07 }\text{g}/{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$
168	81.1	$\frac{168\text{ g}}{81.1{\text{ cm}}^{\text{3}}}=\text{2}\text{.07 }\text{g}/{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$

So, density is a intensive quantity and does not depend upon the mass.
