Question

  1. A. 4 g/cm³ ? P43-037 density measurement and calculation
  2. B. P43-037 trap: this swaps density measurement and calculation for a neighbouring particle-model idea.
  3. C. P43-037 trap: this omits density, mass, volume from the explanation.
  4. D. P43-037 trap: this answer belongs outside Density of materials.

Answer

The correct answer is 4 g/cm³ ? P43-037 density measurement and calculation.

Explanation

Exam lens: Write the relationship, substitute values only when needed, and finish by interpreting the result. This question asks: If a solid has a mass of 200 grams and a volume of 50 cm³, what is its density (Density of materials) ?. The correct response is 4 g/cm³ ? P43-037 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 recall and apply the equation density = mass divided by volume. 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 11 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the exam lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.

Common mistake

Common Mistake in Density Calculation

Students often confuse mass and volume when applying the density equation, leading to incorrect calculations.

Always ensure you are using the correct values for mass (in kg or g) and volume (in m³ or cm³) before substituting them into the density equation.
