Question

A substance has a mass of 360 g and a volume of 7.5 mL. What is its density?

1) 48 g/mL
2) 270 g/mL
3) 489 g/mL
4) 2700 g/mL

Answer 1

The density of a substance with a mass of 360 g and a volume of 7.5 mL is (1) 48 g/mL, calculated using the formula Density = Mass ÷ Volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. The question provides the mass and volume of a substance, and asks to find out its density. The formula to use is Density = Mass ÷ Volume.

In this case:

• Mass = 360 g
• Volume = 7.5 mL

Using the formula, we get:

Density = 360 g ÷ 7.5 mL = 48 g/mL

This means that the density of the substance in question is 48 g/mL, which is answer option 1.
