A metal block is 1.2 cm x 3.2 cm x 6.2 cm. The density of the cube is 7.26 g/cm3.
a) identify the knowns and unknowns
b) how much space does the block take up?
c) what is the mass of the block?
known= density, length, width, height
unknown = volume, mass
b) volume = space something takes up
volume = length x width x height
volume = 1.2cm x 3.2cm x 6.2cm = 23.808 cm^3
2 sig figs = 24 cm ^3
c) m = d x v
m = 7.26 g/cm^3 x 23.808 cm^3
m = 172.84 g
m = 2 sig figs
= 170 g OR 1.7 x 10^2 g
