Prologue Review5. What is the density of a rock which has

a mass of 35.0 grams and a volume of 7.0 cubic centimeters?

Density = Mass VolumeDensity = 35.0 g 7.0 cmᵌDensity = 5.0 g/cmᵌ

Prologue Review6. A student measured the mass of a rock

sample and recorded it as 51 grams. Later it is found that the accepted value of the rock's mass is 60 grams. What is the Percent Error?

Percent Error = 60.0 g – 51.0 g x 100 60.0 g

Percent Error = 15%

Prologue Review12. A rectangular box has a mass of 75.0 g.

If the length of the sides are 3.0 cm, 4.2 cm, and 70.0 mm, what is the density of the box?

70.0 mm 7.0 cmVolume = L x W x H = (3.0 cm) x (4.2 cm) x (7.0 cm)

Volume = 88.2 cmᵌDensity = Mass = 75.0 g = 0.9 g/cmᵌ

Volume 88.2 cmᵌ

Prologue Review16. A large rectangular object has three sides equaling 4.0 cm, 5.5 cm, and 8.0 cm. Its density is 550 g/cm³. What is this object’s mass?

Prologue Review16. A large rectangular object has three sides equaling 4.0 cm, 5.5 cm, and 8.0 cm. Its density is 550 g/cm³. What is this object’s mass?

Volume = (4.0 cm) x (5.5 cm) x (8.0 cm)Volume = 176 cm³

Mass = Volume x DensityMass = (176 cm³) x (550 g/cm³)

Mass = 96,800 g
