Question

What is the density of a sample of sodium chloride (NaCl) with a mass of 5.0 grams and a volume of 2.0 mL? Show all computations and include units in the final answer.

Answer 1

To calculate the density of the sodium chloride  NaCl  sample, we use the formula:Density = Mass / VolumeGiven the mass of the sample is 5.0 grams and the volume is 2.0 mL, we can plug these values into the formula:Density =  5.0 grams  /  2.0 mL Density = 2.5 grams/mLSo, the density of the sodium chloride sample is 2.5 grams/mL.
