Foundations Practice 3

The diagram below represents the mass and volume of a mineral sample being measured. These measurements were used to determine the density of the mineral sample. What is the density of this mineral sample?

• 24 g/mL

• 60 g/mL

• 34 g/mL

• 6 g/mL

What is the approximate density of a mineral with a mass of 262.2 grams that displaces 46 cubic centimeters of water?

• 5.7 g/cm³

• 6.1 g/cm³

• 12.2 g/cm³

• 1.8 g/cm³

The data table below shows the mass and volume of three samples of the same mineral. [The density column is provided for student use.] Which graph best represents the relationship between the density and the volume of these mineral samples?

• Graph with density increasing with volume

• Graph with density constant with volume

• Graph with density decreasing with volume

• Graph with density constant at zero volume

The graph below shows the relationship between the mass and volume of a mineral. What is the density of this mineral?

• 9.0 g/cm³

• 6.0 g/cm³

• 30 g/cm³

• 4.5 g/cm³

The approximate density of rock sample D is

• 2.67 g/cm³

• 3.75 g/cm³

• 3.32 g/cm³

• 2.75 g/cm³

The student broke rock G into two pieces. Compared to the density of the original rock, the density of one piece would most likely be

• less

• greater

• the same

Which one of the following statements is an inference rather than an observation?

• Rock E has a volume of 33.1 cm³.

• Rock B has been rounded by stream action.

• Rock G is the same color as rock I.

• Rock H is flat.

To obtain the data recorded in the column labeled "Description," the student used

• her senses

• an overflow can

• a triple-beam balance

• a calculator
