Lead has a density of 11.3 g/cm3 and a mass of 282.5 g. What is its volume? a. 2.5 cm3 c. 250 cm3 b. 25 cm3 d. 2500 cm3

Sagot :

[tex] \frac{282.5}{11.3} = 25[/tex]

The volume is 25 [tex]cm^{3} [/tex]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) [tex]25cm^3[/tex]

Solution : Given,

Mass of lead = 282.5 g

Density of lead = [tex]11.3g/cm^3[/tex]

Formula used :

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

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the volume of lead.

[tex]11.3g/cm^3=\frac{282.5g}{\text{Volume of lead}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Volume of lead}=25cm^3[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of lead is, [tex]25cm^3[/tex]
