Given parameters:
Density of table salt = 2.16g/cm³
Mass of table salt = 4.25kg = [tex]\frac{0.00425}{2.16}[/tex][tex]\frac{0.00425}{2.16}[/tex]g (1000g = 1kg)
Unknown:
Volume of table salt = ?
Solution:
To find the volume of the table salt, let us state the relationship between density, mass and volume.
Density is the mass per unit volume of substance.
Density = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
Since the unknown is volume;
Density x volume = mass
Volume = [tex]\frac{mass}{density}[/tex]
Input the parameters and solve';
Volume = [tex]\frac{0.000425}{2.16}[/tex] = 1.97 x 10⁻³cm³
Volume of the table salt is 1.97 x 10⁻³cm³
