Calculating Density A sample of a sub-
stance with a mass of 85 g occupies a vol-
ume of 110 cm What is the density of
the substance? Will the substance float
in water? Explain your answer:

Respuesta :

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\ [/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]density = \frac{85}{110} \\ = 0.772727272...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

0.77 g/cm³

The substance will float on water since it's density is less than that of water which is

1 g/cm³.

Hope this helps you
