    AQA GCSE · Question 03.2 · Quantitative chemistry

    Table 1 (extract) Property Polymer J Polymer K Density in g/cm³ 0.9 1.4

    A firefighter uniform made from polymer J has a mass of 6.0 kg. Calculate the mass of a uniform of the same size made from polymer K.
    Use Table 1 and the equation:
    mass of uniform made from polymer K = (density of polymer K / density of polymer J) × 6.0

    How to approach this question

    1. Find the density of polymer K and polymer J from Table 1. 2. Substitute these values into the given equation. 3. Calculate the result using a calculator.

    Full Answer

    mass of uniform K = (1.4 / 0.9) × 6.0 mass of uniform K = 1.555... × 6.0 mass of uniform K = 9.33... kg Answer: 9.3 kg (or 9.33 kg)
    The question provides the equation to use. First, we need the densities from Table 1: - Density of polymer K = 1.4 g/cm³ - Density of polymer J = 0.9 g/cm³ - Mass of uniform from polymer J = 6.0 kg Now, substitute these values into the equation: mass of uniform made from polymer K = (density of polymer K / density of polymer J) × 6.0 mass of uniform made from polymer K = (1.4 / 0.9) × 6.0 mass of uniform made from polymer K = 1.555... × 6.0 mass of uniform made from polymer K = 9.333... kg Rounding to two significant figures gives 9.3 kg.

    Common mistakes

    ✗ Inverting the densities in the fraction (0.9 / 1.4). ✗ Calculation errors. ✗ Forgetting to multiply by 6.0.
