Question

A metal weighing 7.101 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 33.0 mL of water. The water level rose to the 37.4 mL mark. a) Calculate the density of the metal (in g/mL).

Answer 1

Volume of the metal = change in volume reading
Volume = 37.4 - 33
Volume = 4.4 ml

Density = mass / volume
Density = 7.101 / 4.4
Density = 1.61 g/ml
