Substance a has a density of 3.0 g/cm3 and substance b has a density of 4.0 g/cm3. in order to obtain equal masses of these two substances, the ratio of the volume of a to the volume of b will be equal to

Respuesta :

D(a)=m/V(a), m=D(a)*V(a)
D(b)=m/V(b), m=D(b)*V(b)

D(a)V(a)=D(b)V(b)
V(a)/V(b)=D(b)/D(a)

V(a)/V(b)=4.0 g/cm³/3.0 g/cm³
V(a)/V(b)=4/3

The ratio of the volume of a to the volume of b is mathematically given as

V(a)/V(b)=4/3

What is the ratio of the volume of a to the volume of b?

Question Parameters:

Generally, the equation for the density   is mathematically given as

d=m/v

Therefore

D(a)=m/V(a),

m=D(a)*V(a)

Where

D(b)=m/V(b),

m=D(b)*V(b)

Therefore

V(a)/V(b)=4.0 g/cm³/3.0 g/cm³

V(a)/V(b)=4/3
