Consider butter (density= 0.860 g/ml) and sand (density= 2.28 g/ml). if 1.00 ml of butter were mixed with 1.00 ml of sand and mixed as thoroughly as possible what would be the density of the resulting mixture?

The density of the mixture will be 1.57 g/cm³.

Step 1. Calculate the mass of the butter.

Step 2. Calculate the mass of the sand.

Step 3. Calculate the density of the mixture.

Total mass = 0.860 g + 2.28 g = 3.14 g.

Total volume = 1 cm³ + 1 cm³ = 2 cm³
