To find the density of a substance, we use the formula for density which is:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \][/tex]
Given:
- Mass ([tex]\( m \)[/tex]) = 400 grams
- Volume ([tex]\( V \)[/tex]) = 100 mL
We plug these values into the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{400 \text{ g}}{100 \text{ mL}} \][/tex]
Perform the division:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = 4 \text{ g/mL} \][/tex]
Thus, the density of the substance is [tex]\( 4 \text{ g/mL} \)[/tex].
Out of the given options:
a) 0.25
b) 40
c) 40000
d) 4
The correct answer is:
d) 4
