Question

A liquid has a density of 1.2 g/cm³ and occupies a volume of 250 cm³. Calculate the mass of the liquid (Density of materials) (Density of materials; particle reasoning focus: Rearrange the density equation to solve for mass, volume or density) (Density of materials; particle reasoning focus: Rearrange the density equation to solve for mass, volume or density) (Density of materials; definition focus: Rearrange the density equation to solve for mass, volume or density) ? P43-028 Density of materials checkpoint

Answer

300 g In P43-028, the answer must mention density, mass, volume and connect it to Density of materials.

Explanation

Method lens: First identify the measured quantity, then match the equation or particle idea to the command word. This question asks: A liquid has a density of 1.2 g/cm³ and occupies a volume of 250 cm³. Calculate the mass of the liquid (Density of materials) (Density of materials; particle reasoning focus: Rearrange the density equation to solve for mass, volume or density) (Density of materials; particle reasoning focus: Rearrange the density equation to solve for mass, volume or density) (Density of materials; definition focus: Rearrange the density equation to solve for mass, volume or density) ?. The correct response is 300 g In P43-028, the answer must mention density, mass, volume and connect it to Density of materials., 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 rearrange the density equation to solve for mass, volume or density. 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 44 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the method lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.

Common mistake

Common Mistake in Rearranging Density Equation

Students often confuse the rearrangement of the density equation, mistakenly using mass = density x volume instead of the correct rearrangement for volume.

To find volume, remember to rearrange the equation correctly: volume = mass / density. Practice with examples to reinforce this concept.
