1.
What is the density in grams per milliliter of a block of wood that weights 425 g and has a volume of 500.
mL?
2.
The density of mercury is 13.60 g/mL. What volume would 544 g of mercury occupy?
3.
Lead has a density of 11.4 g/cm3. What is the weight of a lead brick measuring 20.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 5.00
cm?
4.
What weight of alcohol can be contained in the tank whose volume is 480 L if the density of alcohol is
0.75g/mL
5.
Concentrated sulfuric acid has a density of 1.85 g/mL. What volume should be measured out for an
experiment requiring 1.00 kg of the acid?
6.
The world production of gold, density of 19.3 g/cm3, from the beginning of time to 1966 was estimated to
be approximately 2 billion ounces. (There are 16 ounces per pound.) Assuming that all of this gold was
packed together in a cube, what would be the approximate length of one side of the cube in cm? in meters?
7.
A chunk of sulfur weight 22.0 g has a volume of 10.8 cm3. What is the density?
8.
A shiny, gold-colored bar of metal weighing 57.3 has a volume of 4.7 cm3. Is the metal bar pure gold?
Support your answer with calculations. (Use the density given in problem 6 for reference.)
9.
A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 2.2 x 10 3 L with 37.4 g of helium. What is the density of
helium in grams per liter?
10. The mass of a cube of iron is 355 g. If the density is 7.874 g/cm 3, what is the volume of the cube? If that
same size cube is filled with lead which has a density of 11.342 g/cm3, what would be the mass of the lead?
