Halite has a mass of 33.0 g and a displaced volume of 17 ml. What is the density of halite?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.94 g/mL

Explanation:

Following Archimedes' principle, the displaced volume of an object (meaning the volume of water it displaces if completely submerged in it) is equal to the object's volume.

Thus the volume of this Halite sample is 17 mL.

The density of an object is equal to the mass divided by the volume:

  • density = mass / volume

We input the data we know:

  • Density = 33.0 g / 17 mL

And calculate the density:

  • Density = 1.94 g/mL
