Exercise 34 Page 41

Practice makes perfect
a To solve the formula for m, let's isolate m on one side.
d=m/V
dV=m
m=dV
b The density of the pyrite is given as 5.01 g/cm^3 and its volume 1.2 cm^3. In order to find the mass m, we substitute these values into the rewritten formula.
m=dV
m= 5.01 * 1.2
m=6.012
Therefore, the mass is 6.012 grams.
