MATHEMATIC problem for finding density
|
|
How would you find density when you are only given the mass,not volume? For instance,Five mL of Ethanol has a mass of 3.9g. What is the density? What mathimatical equation would you set up for this? |

D= Mass divided by volume so to substitute: D= 3.9 divided by five, which equals D= 0.78g/ml ^_^

You missed the fact that mL is a measure of density. 1 mL = 1 cm3 Couldn't be any easier. So 3.9 / 5 = 0.78 g/cm3. |

| Odd... I thought density was defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of the same volume of pure water et 3.98°C. That makes it a number without dimension... |

My mistake... "Densité" in French is "Specific Gravity" in English And "Density" in English is "Masse Volumique" in French ... I'm suddenly feeling very tired... |
