A lead ball has a mass of 55.0 grams and a density of 11.4 g/cm^3. What is the volume of the ball?

• A. 4.82 cm^3
• B. 6.44 cm^3
• C. 0.207 cm^3
• D. 627 cm^3

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the known quantities: mass (m) = 55.0 grams and density (\rho) = 11.4 g/cm^3.
2. Recall the formula that relates mass, density, and volume: \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\).
3. Rearrange the formula to solve for volume (V): \(\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}\).
4. Substitute the known values into the formula: \(V = \frac{55.0}{11.4}\) cm\(^3\).
5. Perform the division to find the volume of the lead ball in cm\(^3\).
