Practice Problems, pg. 20

1. m = 147 g
v = 41 20 = 21 mL
D=?
D = 147 g
21 mL
D = 7.0 g/mL

2. v = ?
m = 20 g
D = 4 g/mL
4 = 20
v
4v = 20

V = 5 mL

3. m = 20 g
v = 5 cm3
D=?
D = 20 g
5 cm3

D = 4 g/cm3

No, the density of Al is 2.7 g/cm 3, as stated


in the example problem. The density of
this cube is 4 g/cm3, so it cannot be Al.

Section 2.1 Assessment

4. length: meter
mass: kilogram
time: second
temperature: kelvin

5. Density is the mass-to-volume


ratio of a material. (How much stuff
is packed into a given space.)

6. B and C
B, 12g/4cm3 = 3 g/cm3
C, 33g/11mL = 3 g/mL
A = 80g/20mL = 4 g/mL (not the same)

7. Base unit definitions are based on a


physical object or process. Derived units
use a combination of base units.

8. It multiplies it by 106.

9. 1000 ms/s
100 cg/g

10. Oil is less dense than water.
