Question

  1. A. 1600 g ? P43-017 density measurement and calculation
  2. B. P43-017 trap: this swaps density measurement and calculation for a neighbouring particle-model idea.
  3. C. P43-017 trap: this omits density, mass, volume from the explanation.
  4. D. P43-017 trap: this answer belongs outside Density of materials.

Answer

The correct answer is 1600 g ? P43-017 density measurement and calculation.

Explanation

Application lens: Apply the rule to the specific sample or situation instead of reciting a broad fact. This question asks: A metal cube has a density of 8 g/cm³ and a volume of 200 cm³. What is its mass (Density of materials) ?. The correct response is 1600 g ? P43-017 density measurement and calculation, 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 43 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the application 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.
