Math Problem Statement
d= m/v g/mL or g/cm3 A gas fills a volume of 1200. mL and has a mass of 1.60 g. What is the density of the gas?
A cube of pure silver measures 2.0 cm on each side. The density of silver is 10.5 g/cm3. What is the mass of the cube?
Solution
Let's solve each of the questions step by step.
1. Finding the density of the gas:
The formula for density is:
Where:
- is the density,
- is the mass,
- is the volume.
In this case, we are given:
- ,
- .
We can use the formula directly to find the density:
Thus, the density of the gas is 0.00133 g/mL.
2. Finding the mass of the silver cube:
We are given:
- The side of the cube ,
- The density of silver .
First, find the volume of the cube using the formula for the volume of a cube:
Next, use the density formula to find the mass:
Thus, the mass of the silver cube is 84.0 g.

5 Related Questions:
- How does the density of a gas compare to that of a solid like silver?
- How would the density of the gas change if its volume were reduced?
- What formula would you use to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
- How do different units of volume (like mL vs cm³) affect density calculations?
- Can you calculate the density of a gas under changing pressure and temperature conditions?
Tip:
Remember that 1 mL is equal to 1 cm³ when calculating density, so they can be used interchangeably in these types of problems.
