Question

A metallic mineral weighs 44 g and displaces 11 mL of water when fully immersed. The density of the mineral is ......... g/cc. (In integer)

Hint:

To calculate the density, divide the mass (in grams) by the volume (in cubic centimeters or milliliters).

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 4

Density is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \] Step 1:
We are given:
- Mass = 44 g - Volume = 11 mL

Step 2:
Since 1 mL = 1 cm\(^3\), the volume of the mineral is 11 cm\(^3\).

Step 3: Substitute the values into the density formula:
\[ \text{Density} = \frac{44}{11} = 4 \, \text{g/cc} \]
Thus, the density of the mineral is 4 g/cc.
\[ \boxed{4} \]
