Question

A piece of silver metal weighting 194.3 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containg 242.0 ml of water.the volume of water now reads 260.5 ml. calculate the denstyof the metal​

Answer 1

Answer:

10.50 g/mL

Explanation:

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

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

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 260.5 - 242 = 18.5 mL

We have

$density = \frac{194.3}{18.5} \\ = 10.5027$

We have the final answer as

10.50 g/mL

Hope this helps you
