Asolid block of exactly 100.0 cm3 has a mass of 153.6 g. determine its density. will the block sink or float on water?

The density of a substance can be calculated by simply taking the ratio of mass and volume. That is:

density = mass / volume

density = 153.6 g / 100 cm^3

density = 1.536 g / cm^3

The density of water is 1 g / cm^3. Since the solid block has higher density than water, therefore it will sink on water.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
