Question

Water is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume is recorded as 43.5 mL. A homogeneous sample of metal pellets with a mass of 10.88 g is added and the volume of the water now reads 49.4 mL. What is the density of the metal in g/mL? Multiple Choice 10.9 1.8 0.250 1.6 0.541

Answer 1

Answer:

1.8g

Explanation:

Initial volume = 43.5ml

Final volume = 49.4ml

Mass = 10.88g

Density = ?

Volume = Final volume - initial volume

= 49.4 - 43.5

= 5.9ml

Density = Mass/volume

Density = 10.88/5.9

= 1.8g/ml
