11. a mineral has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 50 cm³. what is its density? a. 5000 g/cm³ b. 2 g/cm³ c. 5 g/cm³ d. 150 g/cm³
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall density formula
The formula for density $\rho$ is $\rho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.
Step2: Substitute values
Given $m = 100\ g$ and $V=50\ cm^{3}$, we substitute into the formula: $\rho=\frac{100\ g}{50\ cm^{3}}$.
Step3: Calculate density
$\frac{100}{50}=2\ g/cm^{3}$.
Answer:
B. $2\ g/cm^{3}$
