Answer:
9.34 cm³
Explanation:
From the question given, we obtained the following data:
Mass of magnesium = 16.24 g
Volume of magnesium =.?
To obtain the volume of the magnesium sample, we simply apply the formula for calculating the density of samples. This is illustrated below:
Mass of magnesium = 16.24 g
Density of magnesium 1.738 g/cm³
Volume of magnesium =.?
Density = mass /volume
1.738 = 16.24/volume
Cross multiply
1.738 × volume = 16.24
Divide both side by 1.738
Volume of magnesium = 16.24/1.738
Volume of magnesium = 9.34 cm³
Therefore, the density of the magnesium sample is 9.34 cm³.
