SUMMARY

The volume of 1 gram of butter, given its density of 0.917 g/cm³, is calculated to be 1.091 cm³. The density was derived from the mass of 110 g and the volume of 120 cm³ of the butter stick. The formula used for this calculation is Volume = Mass / Density, which is fundamental in understanding the relationship between mass, volume, and density.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic density calculations
  • Familiarity with the formula Volume = Mass / Density
  • Knowledge of metric units (grams and cubic centimeters)
  • Ability to perform simple arithmetic operations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the concept of density and its applications in different materials
  • Explore how to convert between mass and volume for various substances
  • Learn about the significance of density in cooking and food science
  • Investigate the properties of butter and how they compare to other fats
USEFUL FOR

Students in chemistry or physics, culinary professionals, and anyone interested in the physical properties of food substances.

Can someone help me on finding volume of butter. the stick has 120 cm^3 and a mass of 110 g. So what is the volume of 1 g of butter.
I know you have to find density of 110/120 = .92 but then I get stuck what's next. thanks

By definition:
{Density} = {Mass}/{Volume}
Solving for Volume, we get:
{Volume} = {Mass}/{Density}

From the problem statement, we have:
{Density} = (110 g)/(120 cm^3) = (0.917 g/cm^3)

Thus, for your required 1 gram of butter:
{Volume of 1 gram} = {1 gram}/{0.917 g/cm^3}

{Volume of 1 gram} = 1.091 cm^3
 
Thanks! Much appreciated.
