Question

1. Using a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder, a student collected data on a sample of an

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 2.8 g/mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 67.9 g

Volume of water = 28.0 mL

Volume of water + sample = 52.0 mL

Density of sample = ?

Solution;

Density is equal to the mass of substance over volume of substance.

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v= volume

Now we will calculate the volume of sample.

Volume of sample = (volume of water+ sample) - volume of water

Volume of sample = 52.0 mL - 28.0 mL

Volume of sample = 24.0 mL

Now we will calculate the density.

d =67.9 g /24.0 mL

d = 2.8 g/mL
