Example questions for the critical item 1.

Critical item 1:

1 A metal has a density of 19.32 gmL-1. How much does a piece of metal with a volume of 15.0 mL weigh?                                                                                                           answer
 

2 The mass of an object consisting of one chemical is 25.0 g. The volume of this object was determined to be 8.35 mL. What is the density of the chemical?
                                                                                                                      answer
 

3 How much does a piece of wood with a volume of 150 mL weigh if the density of this wood is
0.65 g mL-1?                                                                            
                                                                                                                       answer

To view the formula properly, you need the symbol font in your browser.

Formula:

        r = m / V              (Note that the SI quantity symbol for density is r.)

        19.32 g mL-1 = m / 15.0 mL

        m = 290 g
 
 
 

2
Formula:

        r = m / V

        r =  25.0 g / 8.35 mL

        r = 2.99 g mL-1
 
 
 
 
 

3

Formula:

        r = m / V

        0.65 g mL-1  =  m / 150 mL

        m = 98 g
