Question

Calculate the density of a 3.00 × 10^2 g object that has a volume of 86.2 mL. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.

Answers

GPT 3.5
Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.

Density = mass / volume

Density = 3.00 × 10^2 g / 86.2 mL

Density = 3.48 g/mL

Since the volume was given to only 3 significant figures, and the mass was given to 3 significant figures, the final answer should also be reported to 3 significant figures.

Therefore, the density of the object is 3.48 g/mL.
