Question

The density of lead is 111.342 g/cm3. What would be the volume of a 200.0 g sample of this metal?

Answer 1

The density of lead is $111.342\ \mathrm{g/cm^3}$. What would be the volume of a $200.0\ \mathrm{g}$ sample of this metal?

Solution:

The volume of the metal is

$$V\ (cm^3) = \frac{m(g)}{\rho(g/cm^3)}$$ $$V\ (cm^3) = 200/111.342 = 1.796\ cm^3$$

Answer: $V = 1.796\ cm^3$
