Complete Question:
This diagram shows a marble with a mass of 3.8 grams (g) that was placed into 10 milliliters (mL) of water. Using the formula V M D = , what is the density of the marble?
(See attachment for full diagram)
Answer:
1.27 g/cm³
Explanation:
First, find the volume of rock:
Volume of rock = volume of water after rock was placed - volume of water before rock was placed
Volume of rock = 13 - 10 = 3ml
Density of rock = grams of rock per 1 cm³
Note: 1 ml = 1 cm³
Let x represent amount of rock per 1 cm³
Thus,
3.8g = 3 cm³
x = 1 cm³
Cross multiply
1*3.8 = 3*x
3.8 = 3x
3.8/3 = 3x/3
1.27 = x
Density of rock = 1.27 g/cm³

Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.
Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.
Thus, is correct answer.
