Question

a mineral has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 50 cm³. what is its density? remember: density is expressed as d = m/v, where d = density, m = mass, and v = volume 5000 g/cm³ 2 g/cm³ 5 g/cm³ 150 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

Given \(M = 100\space g\) and \(V=50\space cm^{3}\), and the formula \(D=\frac{M}{V}\).

Step2: Calculate the density

\(D=\frac{100\space g}{50\space cm^{3}} = 2\space g/cm^{3}\)

Answer:

\(2\space g/cm^{3}\) (the second option)
