Question

  1. A. The 500 g mass is divided by 1.25 g/cm?, so the volume is 400 cm?. (Density liquid volume rearrangement).
  2. B. Incorrect: this uses multiplication instead of division for liquid volume rearrangement.
  3. C. Incorrect: this switches to kilograms and metres cubed without conversion for liquid volume rearrangement.
  4. D. Incorrect: this answers density rather than volume for liquid volume rearrangement.

Answer

The correct answer is The 500 g mass is divided by 1.25 g/cm?, so the volume is 400 cm?. (Density liquid volume rearrangement)..

Explanation

Graph lens: Read the trend, flat section, gradient, or axis labels before explaining the physical meaning. This question asks: For Density of materials, which option correctly completes the liquid volume rearrangement calculation in the objective: Apply MS 1c and MS 3c skills when using standard form, significant figures and rearranging the density equation. The correct response is The 500 g mass is divided by 1.25 g/cm?, so the volume is 400 cm?. (Density liquid volume rearrangement)., because density links mass and volume, so the answer must preserve which quantity is being calculated. In Density of materials, the marking point should connect directly to apply MS 1c and MS 3c skills when using standard form, significant figures and rearranging the density equation. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Changes of state and the particle model, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 99 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the graph lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding Density Calculation

Students often confuse the rearrangement of the density equation, leading to incorrect calculations of mass or volume.

To fix this, students should practice rearranging the density equation (density = mass/volume) clearly, ensuring they understand how to isolate each variable correctly.
