Two separate masses of zinc were measured on a laboratory balance. The first zinc had a sample mass of 210.10g, and the second zinc sample had a mass of 235.10g. The two samples were combined. The volume of the combined sample was found to be 62.3ml. Express the mass and density of the zinc sample in the correct number of significant figures.

Know the Answer?

Maxwell Yoder · Answer 1

Density is 7.15 g / mL.

Mass is 445.2 g.

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL, kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D = density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given dа ta:

Mass of first zinc sample = 210.10 g

Mass of second zinc sample = 235.10 g

Combined volume = 62.3 mL

Density of combined sample?

Mass of combined sample = ?

Solution:

Mass of combined sample = 210.10 g + 235.10 g = 445.2 g

density = mass / volume

density = 445.2 g / 62.3 mL

density = 7.15 g / mL
