Question

A graduated cylinder is filled to25.0 mL with water and a piece ofsilver is placed in the cylinder,displacing the level to 54.8 mL.What is the volume of the silverpiece in cubic centimeters?[?] cm³cubic centimetersEnter

Answer 1

Given:

Initial volume when filled with water = 25.0 mL

New volume when the cylinder is placed = 54.8 mL

Let's find the volume of the silver piece in cubic centimeters.

To find the volume, apply the formula:

Volume = New volume - old volume

$54.8\text{ mL - 25.0 mL= 29.8 mL}$

Where:

1 mL = 1 cm³

We have:

29.8 mL = 29.8 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the silver piece in cubic centimeters is 29.8 cm³.

• ANSWER:

29.8 cm³
