To calculate the density of a substance, you can use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \][/tex]
Here, we are given:
- The mass of the substance: [tex]\( 3.2 \)[/tex] grams
- The volume of the substance: [tex]\( 2.0 \)[/tex] cubic centimeters (cm³)
Now, let's apply these values to the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{3.2 \, \text{grams}}{2.0 \, \text{cm}^3} \][/tex]
Performing the division:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = 1.6 \, \text{grams/cm}^3 \][/tex]
So, the density of this substance is:
[tex]\[ 1.6 \, \text{grams/cm}^3 \][/tex]
