The density of silver is 10.49 g/cm3 . If a sample of silver has a volume of 0.2 m3 , what is the mass of the sample?(1 point)

g

1 answer

To calculate the mass of the silver sample, you can use the formula:

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

Given:

  • Density of silver = 10.49 g/cm³
  • Volume of silver = 0.2 m³

First, convert the volume from cubic meters to cubic centimeters (since the density is given in g/cm³): 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³, so:

\[ 0.2 , \text{m}^3 = 0.2 \times 1,000,000 , \text{cm}^3 = 200,000 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Now, substitute the values into the mass formula:

\[ \text{Mass} = 10.49 , \text{g/cm}^3 \times 200,000 , \text{cm}^3 \]

\[ \text{Mass} = 2,098,000 , \text{g} \]

Therefore, the mass of the silver sample is 2,098,000 grams.
