Question

A piece of green jade has a mass of 23.401 g.if the sample of jade displaces 50.0 ml of water to 56.5 ml in a 100 ml graduated cylinder,what is the density of the jade.

Answer 1

we know that

The density is equal to the formula

$Density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

in this problem we have

$mass=23.401\ gr$

Find the volume of a piece of green jade

$Volume=56.5\ ml-50.0\ ml=6.5\ ml$

Substitute the values in the formula of density

$Density=\frac{23.401}{6.5}$

$Density=3.60\frac{gr}{ml}$

therefore

the answer is

$Density=3.60\frac{gr}{ml}$
