Question

A student filled a graduated cylinder with water to the 15.0 mL mark she placed a metal object with a mass of 33.65g into the cylinder when the object was completely submerged in the water the water level rose to 18.3mL what is the density of the object

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 10.2 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

From the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 18.3 -15 = 3.3 mL

We have

$density = \frac{33.65}{3.3} \\ = 10.19696969...$

We have the final answer as

10.2 g/mL

Hope this helps you
