Passage V
Density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume:
Table 1 lists the phases and the densities, in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3), of various pure substances at 25°C and 1 atmosphere (atm) of pressure.
Figure 1 shows how the density of liquid water changes with temperature.
Figure 2 shows how the density of solid water changes with temperature.
29. According to Figure 1, 100 g of water at 4°C would exactly fill a container having which of the following volumes?
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Look at figure 1, when the abscissa is 4°C, the ordinate density is about 1 g/cm3, so the volume of 100 g water at this time is about 100 cm3< /sup>
