2. A sample of iron has the dimensions of 2cm x 3cm x 2cm. If the mass of this rectangular
shaped object is 94g, what is the density?

3. 5mL of ethanol has a mass of 3.9g, and 5mL of benzene has a mass 4.4g. Which liquid has a
higher density?

4. Silver has a density of 10.5g/cm
3
and gold has a density of 19.3g/cm
3
. Which would have a
greater mass, 5cm
3
of silver or 5cm
3
of gold?

5. Copper has a density of 8.9g/cm
3
. If a sample has 90.5g, what is the volume of the sample?


Percent Error: (V
a
- V
e
) / V
a
X 100 = % Error
