Q: A cube has edges of 2.00 cm and a mass of 12.0 g. What is its density?

$$d = \frac{12.0\,g}{2.00\,cm \times 2.00\,cm \times 2.00\,cm} = 1.50\,g/cm^3$

Q: Convert $$0.00348\,m^3$ to cm^3$.

$$0.00348\,m^3$ \times 1,000,000\,cm^3$/m^3 = 3$$,480\,$$cm^3$

Q: Express $$10^{\circ}C$ in Kelvin and Fahrenheit.

$$K = 10 + 273.15 = 283.15\,K$$; $$^{\circ}F = (9/5) \times 10 + 32 = 50$$^{\circ}$$F$$

Q: A cube of a substance with $$3.00\,cm$$ edges has the same density as a $$2.00\,cm$$ cube that weighs $$12.0\,g. $$What is the mass of the $$3.00\,cm$$ cube?

$$m = d \times V = 1.50\,g/cm^3$ \times 27.0\,cm^3$ = 40.5\,g$$
