Hi. I took a year of chemistry over a year ago. Now it's my sister's turn. She called with the following question...

"A 50g cube is added to 20 C water (density 0.99821 g/cm³)... the block weighs 5.6g in the water. What is the density?"

Now, she had mentioned the only formula the book shows is d=m/v, but I suggested that the temperature of the water would have to be plugged in somewhere else, whether that be a chart for specific gravity, or another formula. So, is this problem solvable with ONLY the d=m/v formula, or is another formula needed? If so, which formula?

Well, back to MY OWN homework.

You can safely ignore temperature - it was already used when looking for specific gravity of water.
