a)
Pick out the marbles.

What is the density of an object with a mass of 12 grams and a volume of 2.5 cm3? Show all of your work & UNITS = 7 POINTS

23.

A student finds the mass of a marble to be 5.5 grams. He places the marble

into a graduated cylinder with 25.0 mL of water, and the water level rises to 27.0 mL. What is the density of the marble? HINT: this is a 2-step problem: you need to calculate one of the measurements (volume) that you will use in the density equation. Show all of your work & UNITS = 10 POINTS

24.

The density of iron is 7.9 g/cm3. What volume of iron would have a mass of 14.0 g? (HINT: like the examples we completed as a class!) Show all of your work & UNITS = 7 POINTS

25.

A 35 gram block has a density of 4.0 g/cm3. The block has length of 3.0 cm, and

a width of 1.5 cm. What is the height of the block? (like Example #8, Density WS #2!) HINT: this is a 2-step problem: Step 1 - use the correct "arrangement" of the density equation to solve for a variable that you can use in the volume equation. Step 2 - then use the volume equation (V = l x w x h) and your calculated value from the first step to solve for height by applying algebra. Show all of your work & UNITS = 11 POINTS
