Question

8. A student found the mass of an object to be 26.5 g. To find the volume, the student submerged the object in a graduated cylinder of water. Submerging the object
in the water in the graduated cylinder increased the water level by 24.1 mL. The density of the object is
A. 0.909 g/mL.
B. 1.10 g/ml..
C.1.1 g/mL.
D. 1.0906 g/mL.

Answer 1

Answer: The density of the object is 1.10 g/ml

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of object = ?

Mass of object = 26.5 g

Volume of object = volume of water displaced = 24.1 ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Density=\frac{26.5g}{24.1ml}=1.10g/ml$

Thus density of the object is 1.10 g/ml
