A chef fills a 50 mL container with 43.5 g of cooking oil. What is the density of the oil?

Question

Natalie Anton · Accepted Answer

# .87 g/(ml)# Density is mass divided by Volume # D = M/V# putting the values into the equation gives # D = (43.5g)/(50 ml) # = # .87 g/(ml)#

Henry Antrim · Answer

undefined Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 43.5 g / 50 mL
Density = 0.87 g/mL

undefined Great question! To find the density, we follow these steps:

1. **Understand density**: Density is how much mass is in a certain space. The formula is:
   $$
   \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
   $$
2. **Identify the mass**: You have 43.5 grams of cooking oil. So, mass = 43.5 g.

3. **Identify the volume**: The volume of the cooking oil is 50 mL. So, volume = 50 mL.

4. **Plug in the values**: Use the formula:
   $$
   \text{Density} = \frac{43.5 \, \text{g}}{50 \, \text{mL}}
   $$

5. **Calculate**: 
   $$
   \text{Density} = 0.87 \, \text{g/mL}
   $$

So, what is the density of the cooking oil?

undefined That’s a great question! To find the density, we need to use the formula:

**Density = Mass ÷ Volume**

1. **What is the mass?**  
   - The mass of the oil is 43.5 g.

2. **What is the volume?**  
   - The volume of the container is 50 mL.

3. **Now, divide the mass by the volume:**  
   - Density = 43.5 g ÷ 50 mL

4. **What does that give us?**  
   - Let’s do the calculation.

$$
   \text{Density} = \frac{43.5}{50} = 0.87 \text{ g/mL}
   $$

5. **So, what is the density of the oil?**  
   - The density of the cooking oil is **0.87 g/mL**.

Does that make sense?
