A student measures the mass of a substance as 1.7132kg and it's volume as 0.65l. What is the density substance in g/mL? Round your answer to the correct number of significant figures

Answer:

The substance has a density of 2.636 grams per mililiter.

Explanation:

We must remember that density ([tex]\rho[/tex]), measured in grams per mililiters, is the mass of the substance ([tex]m[/tex]), measured in grams, divided by its volume ([tex]V[/tex]), measured in mililiters. That is:

[tex]\rho = \frac{m}{V}[/tex]

In addition, a kilogram equals 1000 grams and a liter equals 1000 mililiters. If we know that [tex]m = 1713.2\,g[/tex] and [tex]V = 650\,mL[/tex], then:

[tex]\rho = \frac{1713.2\,g}{650\,mL}[/tex]

[tex]\rho = 2.636\,\frac{g}{mL}[/tex]

The substance has a density of 2.636 grams per mililiter.
