Answer:
4.17 g/mL
Explanation:
In order to determine the density of the solid, we need to know both its mass and its volume.
The mass is already given to us by the problem, 45.0 g.
As for the volume, we can determine it by using Archimedes' principle. It states that the volume of water displaced by an object when submerged is equal to the object's volume.
- Water displaced = 75.8 mL - 65 mL = 10.8 mL
Finally we calculate the density of the solid:
- Density = mass / volume = 45.0 g / 10.8 mL
