The Density of a Sample of Pewter Alloy
What is the density of a sample of the alloy pewter, (a mixture of tin and copper or lead) if a 7.11 cm^3 sample has a mass of 53.137g?
Answer:
The density of the alloy pewter is 7.47 g/cm³
Explanation:
The density of a substance is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. In this case:
Given:
Mass = 53.137 g
Volume = 7.11 cm³
Using the formula for density:
Density = Mass / Volume
Substitute the given values:
Density = 53.137 g / 7.11 cm³ = 7.47 g/cm³
Therefore, the density of the alloy pewter is 7.47 g/cm³.
