The mass of an empty container is 60 g. The mass of the container filled with water is 89 g.

What is the volume of the container?

The density of water is 1 g/cm³.

Answer in units of cm³.



Answer :

Sure, let's solve this step-by-step.

1. Determine the mass of the water:
- The mass of the empty container is 60 grams.
- The mass of the container filled with water is 89 grams.
- To find the mass of the water, subtract the mass of the empty container from the mass of the filled container:
[tex]\[ \text{mass of water} = \text{mass of full container} - \text{mass of empty container} = 89\, \text{g} - 60\, \text{g} = 29\, \text{g} \][/tex]

2. Use the density of water to find the volume of the water:
- The density of water is given as [tex]\( 1 \text{ g/cm}³ \)[/tex].
- To find the volume, use the formula for density which is:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \][/tex]
Rearrange this formula to solve for volume:
[tex]\[ \text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} \][/tex]
Substituting in the values for mass and density:
[tex]\[ \text{Volume} = \frac{29\, \text{g}}{1\, \text{g/cm}³} = 29\, \text{cm}³ \][/tex]

So, the volume of the container is [tex]\( 29 \, \text{cm}³ \)[/tex].
