What is the density of a substance if it has a mass of 60.00 g and displaces water from a volume of 15.0 ml?

You will mean 15 cc or cubic centimeter.
The answer is 4g / cc ( 60 g divide 15 cc )

Mass = 60 g
Volume = 15 ml
60/15 = 4
Thus the density is 4 g/ml.

For a volume of 35 mL: 1,71 g/cm3.

How do you get the relative density of a substance?
Weigh it to determine the mass, then determine how much volume it displaces (in something it does not dissolve in). Divide mass by volume, you've got density.
What formula do you use to caculate the density of an object?
Calculate the volume of the substance by measuring the length, width and height. The formula looks like this: Volume = L (length) x W (width) x H (height). Determine if the object or substance is irregularly shaped. If so, you can determine the volume by finding out how much water is displaced when the object is dropped into a beaker of water. Calculate the density once you know the volume and mass of the substance or object. Density is equal to the mass of the substance divided by its volume: D (density) = M (mass) / V (volume).
How do you determine the density of a granular substance which is insoluble in water?
Using Archimedes principle we can find the density of such object. First let's weigh the body hanging in air using a physical balance. Let it be w1 Now immerse it in water kept in a beaker and weigh once again. Let it be w2. Now using the expression density can be found. Density = w1/ (w1 - w2)
Why does hydrometer is used to find the density of dock?
It is not used for this.A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids, NOT rock.To measure the density of a rock you weigh a piece of it in air, then measure the volume of water it displaces in a measuring jug.Density = mass/volume.
What is the density of a 12.5 g marble that displaces 5.0 ml of water?
The density of the marble would be determined by dividing the marble's mass (12.5 g) by its volume (5ml), which would give you 2.5g/ml.

How do you find mass of a rock by its density?
Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume
What is the difference density and relative density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
What is the difference of relative density and density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
How does the density of an object affect it as it sinks through water?
It's difficult to tell what you are asking. If the question is concerned with the bouyancy of the object, it will sink if it first displaces its volume of water, or will float if it first displaces its weight in water. Since density is mass per unit volume, objects with an average density greater than water will sink.
Why does vetcable oil float on water?
Vegetable oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Since the mass of vegetable oil is less than the same volume of water, it displaces less water and floats on top.
A 6 kg piece of metal displaces 1 liter of water when submerged what is its density?
If the water is at standard temperature and pressure (25 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere), the water has density of 1 kilogram per liter. When submerged, the metal displaces its own volume of water. Therefore, the volume of the metal is 1 liter, and the density of the metal is 6 kg/liter.
What is equal to the volume of water an object displaces?
volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the part of the object inside it
How does density affect buoyancy?
Ignoring shapes (using cubes), density (mass/volume) greater than "water" means it sinks. The floating object displaces its weight of the buoyant "object" (water, etc.)when it floats, but displaces its volume when it sinks.
What is the meaning of water density?
Density is mass per unit volume of a substance. The Mass and volume of water is in the ratio of 1:1 .There fore the density of water is 1. With rise and decrease of temperature the volume increases or decreases to change the water density.
How do you figure out the weight of a rock?
You could weigh it. You can also determine its density by comparing it to an equal volume of water, but first you would have to determine how much water it displaces to determine its volume.
Is a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water less than its volume?
A body which is totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water equal to the volume of the body.
