Question

scientist identify an unknown substance on mars they collect the substance and record its physical properties the mass of the substance is 4725 grams and the volume of the substance is 350 cm^3 use the calculator provided below to calculate the density then use the chart provided in the initial information to identify the substance

Answer 1

To calculate the density of the unknown substance, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \]

Given:

• Mass = 4725 grams
• Volume = 350 cm³

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Density} = \frac{4725 \text{ g}}{350 \text{ cm}^3} \approx 13.50 \text{ g/cm}^3 \]

With the calculated density of approximately 13.50 g/cm³, you would then compare this value to a provided chart of substances and their densities to identify the unknown substance.

If you provide a chart or list of known substances and their densities, I can help you identify which substance it may be.
