Question
To find density of an object, you calculate the ratio of its mass to its volume, using the formula: Density = Mass/ Volume; where "Mass" is measured by grams and "Volume" is measured in cubic centimeters (cm3). A sample of mineral bar has a mass of 251.1 g and a Volume of 31.0 cm3. what is the density of a cinnabar?

To find the density of the cinnabar sample, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
\]
Given that the mass of the mineral bar is 251.1 g and the volume is 31.0 cm³, you can substitute these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{251.1 \, \text{g}}{31.0 \, \text{cm}^3}
\]
Now, performing the division:
\[
\text{Density} = 8.1 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \quad (\text{rounded to one decimal place})
\]
Therefore, the density of the cinnabar sample is **8.1 g/cm³**.
