Question

calculating the density of lead
use the mass and volume data to calculate the density of lead.
mass of lead = 567.5 g
volume of lead = 50.0 cm³
what is the density of lead?
28,375 g/cm³
11.35 g/cm³
617.7 g/cm³
0.09 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the density formula

Density formula is \(
ho=\frac{m}{V}\), where \(m\) is mass and \(V\) is volume.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 567.5\space g\) and \(V=50.0\space cm^{3}\), then \(
ho=\frac{567.5}{50.0}\).

Step3: Calculate the value

\(\frac{567.5}{50.0}= 11.35\space g/cm^{3}\)

Answer:

11.35 \(g/cm^{3}\) (corresponding to the second option)
