The density of table sugar, also known as sucrose, is approximately 1.59 g/ml. This value is essential for understanding how mass and volume relate to each other.
To analyze the given statements:
- A: More than one correct response – This could potentially be true depending on the evaluations of other statements.
- B: 3.00 g of table sugar occupies a volume of 1.97 ml – To confirm this, we can use the density formula: Density = Mass/Volume. Rearranging gives Volume = Mass/Density. For 3.00 g: Volume = 3.00 g / 1.59 g/ml ≈ 1.89 ml, which means this statement is incorrect.
- C: No correct response – We need to evaluate the other statements to check this.
- D: 5.00 g of table sugar occupies a volume of 3.14 ml – Using the same formula: Volume = 5.00 g / 1.59 g/ml ≈ 3.14 ml. This statement is correct.
- E: 2.00 g of table sugar occupies a volume of (incomplete statement) – To find the volume, using the same formula: Volume = 2.00 g / 1.59 g/ml ≈ 1.26 ml. However, as it stands, this statement is incomplete.
Based on this evaluation, statements A and D are correct, while B is incorrect, and E is not fully stated. Therefore, there is more than one correct response.
