Question

What is the mass of a 450 centimeter³ block of silicon if the density of silicon is 2.336 grams/centimeter³?

Group of answer choices

1051.2 grams

192.6 grams

.005 grams

452.33 grams

Answer 1

To find the mass of the block of silicon, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{mass} = \text{density} \times \text{volume}
\]

Given:
- Density of silicon = 2.336 grams/centimeter³
- Volume = 450 centimeters³

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{mass} = 2.336 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \times 450 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\text{mass} = 2.336 \times 450 = 1051.2 \, \text{grams}
\]

Thus, the mass of the 450 centimeter³ block of silicon is **1051.2 grams**.
