Given a graph showing that an object has a mass of 50 g and a volume of 25 mL, what is the density of the object, in g/mL?

• A. 0.5 g/mL
• B. 75 g/mL
• C. 25 g/mL
• D. 2 g/mL

Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given quantities from the problem: mass (m) = 50 g and volume (V) = 25 mL.
2. Recall the formula for density, which is the ratio of mass to volume: \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\).
3. Substitute the given values into the density formula: \(\text{Density} = \frac{50\ \text{g}}{25\ \text{mL}}\).
4. Perform the division to find the density value (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
5. Express the units clearly as grams per milliliter (g/mL) to complete the density calculation.
