A student announced that she had made a sample of a new material that had a density of 0.85 g/$cm^3$. Can you tell how large a sample she had made? How?

Can you tell me how much water you have if I tell you its is $"0.998 g/mL"$? (No. You could have a droplet... or several oceans. They'll all have densities near $"1 g/mL"$.)

Consider that density is an intensive property. All that means is that no matter how much you have of something, its density remains the same (assuming a uniform material).

The only properties that can change due to the quantity of the thing are extensive properties, i.e. mass, volume, etc.

If you want to know how much that student made... ask for the pudding, and look in there for the proof.

A student decide to ignore any results that are too far above or below their prediction. He/she repeats their trials until a value closer to their prediction is obtained. What has the student done by doing this?

He adapted measurements to tally with his prediction, by leaving all contradicting measurements out. Anor277 added: Just to echo MeneerNask, if the student had no reason to reject the...

Rebecca has samples of different types of metal. She wants to measure the samples to find out the density of each metal. First, she measures the samples' volumes. Now she needs masses. What tools should Rebecca use to measure her samples' masses?

$"Density,"$ $rho="Mass"/"Volume"$, and thus it has the units of $g*mL$ or $g*cm^-3$.

A foam material has a density of $175$ $g$$/L$. What is its density in units of $lb$$/ft^3$?

Let's break the answer down into three parts: $color (brown) ("First,"$ we're going to convert grams to pounds using this conversion factor: $color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa$ 1 pound = 453.592 grams $color (purple)...

At $20°C$, the density of copper is $8.9$ $g$$/$$cm^3$. The density of platinum is $21.4$ $g$$/$$cm^3$. What does this tell you about how the atoms are "packed" in each material?

$"Molar mass (Cu)"$ $=$ $63.55$ $g*mol^-1$. $"Molar mass (Pt)"$ $=$ $195.08$ $g*mol^-1$. This threefold difference in molar mass, of course translates to . Given that the difference in densities is...

The water level in a graduated cylinder stands at 20.0 mL before and at 26.2 mL after a 16.74 g metal sample is lowered into the cylinder. What is the density of the sample? What metal is the sample most likely to be?

That metal occupies a volume of 6.2 mL. Its is $16.74/6.2=2.7 g cm^-3$. Consulting I could say that the metal is aluminium.

A student weighed an empty graduated cylinder and found that it had a mass of 25.23 g. When filled with 25.0 mL of an unknown liquid, the total mass was 50.92 g. What is the density of the liquid?

For your problem, $rho=((50.92-25.23)*g)/(25.0*mL)$ $=$ $1.03*g*mL^-1$ Alternatively $rho=((50.92-25.23)*g)/(25.0xx10^-3L)$ $=$ $??g*L^-1$

The density of a sample of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. You submerse a sample of aluminum in water, and the volume of the water rises 1.3 L (1.3 L is displaced by the aluminum). Using the correct number of significant figures, what is the mass of the sample?

is mass per unit of volume. $"density"="mass"/"volume"$ The displaced volume of water is the volume of the aluminum sample. Since the given density is in $"g/cm"^3$, the unit for...

If the density of a material is $0.88*g*mL^-1$, what is the material?

Well we can work out the density..... $rho="Mass"/"Volume"=(8.184*g)/(10.5*mL-1.2*mL)=0.88*g*mL^-1$. This could literally be anything.........

A student had a sample of $"BaCl"_2 * 2"H"_2"O"$ and an inert material. He heated a sample until the mass did not change...? (Problem below)

The idea here is that you can use the mass of the residue to figure out the mass of barium chloride present in the sample. When you heat the...
