Answer:
Mass of object is 144g
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass of object =?
Volume of object = 24mL
Density = 6.0g/mL
Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.
Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.
Mathematically, density is given by the equation;
[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
Hence, Mass = density × volume
Mass = 6 × 24
Mass = 144g
Therefore, mass of the object is 144g.
Answer: The mass is: "140 g " .

Explanation:
__________________________
Given: 6.0 g/ mL ; (the "density");
and the volume of the object: "24 mL" ;
We shall find the "mass" (measured in "g" ["grams"] :
__________________________
[tex]\frac{6.0 g}{mL} *\frac{24 mL}{1} = ? g[/tex] ;
__________________________
We can cancel out the "mL" units;
Since: "mL/mL" = 1 .
__________________________
and we have: " [6.0 * 24] g " ;
= 144 g ;
Now; since both given values in the problem have 2 (two) significant figures; and no "exact values" were given/used in this calculation;
we shall round our obtained calculation to: 2 (two) significant figures:
" 144 g" ; has 3 (three) significant figures ;
The first two significant figures are "14 ; and the following significant digit is "4" ; which is "less than 5" ; i.e, is either: "0, 1, 2, 3, or 4" ; so we round it down to "140" . {Note: If it were: 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 ; then we would round the value up to "150".}.
__________________________
So: The mass is: "140 g " .
