A piece of PVC plumbing pipe displaces 60 mL when placed into a container of water. If the pipe has a mass of 78 g, what is the density of PVC?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= 1.3 \ g/mL}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex]

The mass of the pipe is 78 grams. It displaced 60 milliliters of water, therefore that is the volume.

[tex]m=78 \ g\\v= 60 \ mL[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]d=\frac{78 \ g }{60 \ mL}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]d= 1.3 \ g/mL[/tex]

The density of the PVC pipe is 1.3 grams per milliliter
