Question

Arwan finds a piece of quartz while hiking in the mountains. When he returns to school, he takes it to his science teacher. She helps him determine the mass to be 788.9 g. She also tells Arwan that the density of quartz is 2.6 .

What is the volume of Arwan’s piece of quartz?

0.003
303.4
339.5
2,051.1

Answer 1

To find the volume of Arwan's piece of quartz, we can use the formula:

Density = Mass / Volume

We are given the mass of the quartz as 788.9 g and the density of quartz as 2.6. Rearranging the formula, we have:

Volume = Mass / Density

Substituting the given values, we get:

Volume = 788.9 g / 2.6 = 303.4 g/cm³

Therefore, the volume of Arwan's piece of quartz is 303.4 cm³
