Answer: The volume of Arwan’s piece of quartz is [tex]303.42 cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass of the Quartz piece brought by Arwan : 788.9 g

Density of the quartz = [tex]2.6 g/cm^3[/tex]

Density of the substance is defined as mass present in per unit volume of the substance. It is measured in gram per centimeter cube.

[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

[tex]density=2.6g/cm^3=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{788.9 g}{volume}[/tex]

[tex]volume=\frac{788.9 g}{2.6 g/cm^3}=303.42 cm^3[/tex]

Hence,the volume of Arwan’s piece of quartz is [tex]303.42 cm^3[/tex]
