Brianna wanted to compare the densities of two different solids of the same size 6cm3 (same volume) to see which one was more dense. Solid A had a mass of 2 grams and Solid B had a mass of 0.5 grams. (Density = Mass/volume)
this has to be done in CER form

Respuesta :

Answer:

Density of Solid A is greater than B

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Solid A = 2 g

Mass of solid B = 0.5 g

Volume of both solids = 6 cm3

To determine:

Densities of A and B

Calculation:

Density of a substance is the mass occupied by it in unit volume

[tex]Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

For Solid A:

[tex]Density = \frac{2\ g}{6\ cm3} =0.33\ g/cm3[/tex]

For Solid B :

[tex]Density = \frac{0.5\ g}{6\ cm3} =0.083\ g/cm3[/tex]

Therefore solid A is more dense than solid B
