Given the statement:

A sample of an unknown liquid has a volume of 30.0 mL and a mass of 6 g.

Determine the density of the unknown liquid.

Formula for density:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

Solution:

In order to determine the density of the unknown liquid, we simply needed to substitute the given values of volume and mass to the formula for density.

d = m/v

d = 6 g / 30 ml

d = 0.2 g/ml

Final answer:

The density of the unknown liquid is 0.2 g/ml.
