Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a certain volume. It is calculated using the formula:Density=MassVolume\\text{Density} = \\frac{\\text{Mass}}{\\text{Volume}}Density=VolumeMass\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rearranging this formula to find volume gives:Volume=MassDensity\\text{Volume} = \\frac{\\text{Mass}}{\\text{Density}}Volume=DensityMass\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This formula works for all substances, including irregularly shaped solids such as this piece of iron. Since the mass is given in grams and the density in grams per cubic centimeter, we can perform the calculation directly without any unit conversions. Once we compute the volume in cubic centimeters, we can confidently state the answer in milliliters because 1 cubic centimeter is equivalent to 1 milliliter. This equivalence is based on how volume and liquid measurements are defined in the metric system. Therefore, the final answer for the volume of this 524 gram piece of iron is 66.67 milliliters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1089.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1089.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1089-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1089-768x923.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The density of iron is 7.86 g\/cm3.
