43.2 g of table salt occupies 20.0 cm2of space- Appropriate for calculating density

150 g of iron density of iron 79.0 g/cm3- Appropriate for calculating volume

21.0 mL of methanol density of methanol 0.79g/mL - Appropriate for calculating mass

3.00 g of white pine, density of white pine 0.40 g/cm3- Appropriate for calculating volume

5.00 cm,3 of table salt weighs 10.8g-Appropriate for calculating density

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Hence in science;

Density= mass/volume

When mass and volume are both given, the information can be used to determine the density of a given substance.

When volume and density are both given, the information can be used to determine the mass of a given substance.

When the mass and density of a substance are both given, the information can be used to determine the volume of the substance.

Hence the answers given above.
