Question

A metal with a mass of 71.68G occupies a volume of 8.00 cm to the power of 3. What's the calculation of the density of the metal?

Answer 1

The formula for density is D = m/V. 71.68g is the mass of the metal and 8.00cm^3 is the volume of the metal. Next, all we need to do is plug in the known values (71.68g/8.00cm^3). This gives us a final answer of 8.98g/cm^3 (three sig figs because the volume value provided has three sig figs).

Hope this helps!
