The Density of Ice and Calculating Mass

The Density of Ice at Freezing Point

Ice is the solid form of water that forms when it is cooled below 0°C. At its freezing point, ice has a density of 0.917 g/cm³. This means that for every cubic centimeter of ice, it has a mass of 0.917 grams.

Calculating the Mass of Ice

To calculate the mass of a given volume of ice, you can use the formula:

mass = density x volume

For example, let's find the mass of 2.5 cm³ of ice at its freezing point:

mass = 0.917 g/cm³ x 2.5 cm³

mass = 2.29 grams

Therefore, the mass of 2.5 cm³ of ice at its freezing point is 2.29 grams.

The density of ice at its freezing point is 0.917 g/cm³. What is the mass of 2.5 cm³ of ice at this temperature?

Answer: 2.3 Explanation: The mass of 2.5 cm³ of ice at its freezing point is 2.29 grams.
