Given parameters:
Volume of the ruby = 575cm³
Density of the ruby = 3.97g/cm³
Unknown:
Mass of the largest ruby = ?
Solution:
Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is an intrinsic property of matter that is unique to each of them.
Mathematically;
Density = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
Since mass is the unknown;
Mass = density x volume
Input the parameters and solve;
Mass = 3.97 x 575 = 2282.75g
The mass of the largest ruby is 2282.75g
