What is the density of a piece of metal that has a mass of 25 grams and a volume of 29.4 cubic centimeters?

1 answer

To determine the density of a piece of metal, you can use the formula for density:

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

Given:
- Mass (m) = 25 grams
- Volume (V) = 29.4 cubic centimeters

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Density} = \frac{25 \text{ grams}}{29.4 \text{ cm}^3} \]

Perform the division:

\[ \text{Density} \approx 0.85 \text{ grams per cubic centimeter} \]

So, the density of the piece of metal is approximately \( 0.85 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \).
