Use the mass and volume data to calculate the density of lead.

Volume of lead = [tex]50.0 \, \text{cm}^3[/tex]

What is the density of lead?

A. [tex]28.375 \, \text{g/cm}^3[/tex]
B. [tex]11.35 \, \text{g/cm}^3[/tex]
C. [tex]97.7 \, \text{p/cm}^2[/tex]
D. [tex]0.09 \, \text{g/cm}^2[/tex]

Answer :

To calculate the density of lead, you can use the formula for density:

[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \][/tex]

Given:
- Volume of lead [tex]\( V = 50.0 \, \text{cm}^3 \)[/tex]
- Mass of lead [tex]\( M = 567.5 \, \text{g} \)[/tex]

By substituting these values into the density formula, you get:

[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{567.5 \, \text{g}}{50.0 \, \text{cm}^3} \][/tex]

Now, divide 567.5 by 50 to find the density:

[tex]\[ \text{Density} = 11.35 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \][/tex]

Therefore, the density of lead is [tex]\( 11.35 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \)[/tex].
