The mass of a 16.3 cm³ piece of silver can be calculated using the formula:
Mass = Density × Volume
Given that the density of silver is 10.5 g/mL and the volume is 16.3 cm³, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Mass = 10.5 g/mL × 16.3 cm³
Since 1 cm³ is equivalent to 1 mL, the units are consistent. Therefore:
Mass = 10.5 g/mL × 16.3 mL = 171.15 g
So, the mass of a 16.3 cm³ piece of silver is 171.15 grams.
