A 10.0cm3 volume of alcohol has a mass of 7.05g. What is the density of the alcohol in grams per cubic centimeter

0.705 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step 1: define density

The (volumetric mass) density of a sample or substance, is this sample or substance its mass per unit volume and can be defined through following formula:

ρ = m/v

with ρ = density (kg/m³)

m = mass of the substance (kg)

v = volume (m3)

Step 2: change datat SI-units

10.0 cm³ = 10^-5 m³

7.05 g = 0.00705 kg

ρ = 0.00705 kg / 10^-5 m³ = 705 kg / m³

To convert this to g/cm³ we have to divide by 1000

ρ = 0.705 g/cm³

To control this we calculate 7.05g / 10cm³ = 0.705 g/cm³

The desnity of the alcohol is 0.705 g/cm³
