Given parameters:
Density of the rock = 2.2g/cm³
Volume of rock = 66.5mL
Unknown:
Mass of the rock = ?
Solution:
Density is the mass per unit volume of a body. It is mathematically expressed as shown below;
Density = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
So;
Mass = Density x Volume
We need to take the given parameters to the same unit before we solve;
convert mL to cm³
1mL = 1cm³; 66.5mL is the same as 66.5cm³
Now solve;
Mass = 2.2 x 66.5 = 146.3g
The mass of the rock is 146.3g
