Calculate (a) the density of a solid substance if a cube measuring 2.33 cm on one side has a mass of 117 g and (b) the mass of a cube of the same substance measuring 7.41 cm on one side.

Respuesta :

Answer:

For a: The density of a solid substance is [tex]9.249g/cm^3[/tex]

For b: The mass of the cube is 3763.14 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of cube, we use the formula:

[tex]V=a^3[/tex]      .....(1)

where,

a = edge length of cube

  • For a:

Edge length of cube = 2.33 cm

Volume of cube = [tex](2.33)^3=12.65cm^3[/tex]

Mass of cube = 117 g

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:

[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]     .....(2)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\text{Density of cube}=\frac{117g}{12.65cm^3}=9.249g/cm^3[/tex]

Hence, the density of a solid substance is [tex]9.249g/cm^3[/tex]

  • For b:

Edge length of cube = 7.41 cm

Volume of cube = [tex](7.41)^3=406.87cm^3[/tex]

Density of cube = [tex]9.249g/cm^3[/tex]

To calculate the mass of cube, we use equation 2:

[tex]9.249g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of cube}}{406.87cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of cube}=3763.14g[/tex]

Hence, the mass of the cube is 3763.14 grams.

(a) The density of a solid substance is 9.249 g/cm³.

(b) The mass of the cube is 3763.14 grams.

To calculate the volume of cube, we use the formula:

[tex]V=a^3[/tex]     .....(1)

where,

a = edge length of cube

(a)

Edge length of cube = 2.33 cm

Volume of cube = [tex]2.33^3=12.65cm^3[/tex]

Mass of cube = 117 g

Density:

It can be defined as the ratio of mass over volume.

[tex]\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}[/tex]    .....(2)

On substituting the values:

[tex]\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\\\\\text{Density}=\frac{117g}{12.65cm^3} \\\\\text{Density}=9.249g/cm^3[/tex]

Thus, the density of a solid substance is 9.249 g/cm³

(b)

Edge length of cube = 7.41 cm

Volume of cube = [tex]7.41^3=406.87cm^3[/tex]

Density of cube = [tex]9.249g/cm^3[/tex]

Calculation for mass:

[tex]\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\\\\\text{Mass}=\text{Density}*\text{Volume}\\\\\text{Mass}=9.249g/cm^3*406.87cm^3\\\\\text{Mass}=3763.14g[/tex]

Hence, the mass of the cube is 3763.14 grams.
