16. A little aluminum boat (mass of 14.50 g) has a volume of 450.00 cm3. The boat is
place in a small pool of water and carefully filled with pennies. If each penny has
a mass of 2.50 g, how many pennies can be added to the boat before it sinks?
17. A miner finds a substance he believes is gold. He collects a sample and finds it to
have a mass of 17.8g and a volume of 2mL. Is the substance he collected gold?
Explain your reasoning.
18. What would the mass of that substance need to be for it to be gold if the volume is
2mL?
19. Gasoline is a non-polar liquid that will float on water. 450 grams of gasoline is
spilled into a puddle of water. If the density of gasoline is 0.665 g/mL, what
volume of gasoline is spilled?
