Question

A graduated cylinder was filled to 20.3 mL with water. A solid object weighing 73.05 g was immersed in the water, raising the meniscus of the water to 48.1 mL. Calculate the density of the solid object in g/mL.

Answer 1

The density of the solid object will be 2.63 g/mL

What is density?

Density of objects = mass/volume.

Recall that an object will always displace its own volume when placed in a liquid.

Volume of the solid object = Cylinder reading after immersing the object in the water - cylinder reading before immersing the object in the water.

             = 48.1 - 20.4

                  = 27.8 mL

Mass of the solid object = 73.05 g

Density of the object = 73.05/27.8

                                         = 2.63 g/mL
