Question

"An object weighing 10.01 grams is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 3.90 mL of water. If the total volume of the object and water is 9.06 mL, then what is the density of the object in g/mL?"

Answer 1

Answer:

Density of the object = 1.9399g/mL

Explanation:

Mass of object = 10.01g

Volume of water = 3.90mL

Volume of Object + Water = 9.06mL

Therefore, volume of Object = Volume of Object + Water - Volume of Water

= 9.06mL - 3.90mL

= 5.16mL

Density by definition is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Density of the object = mass/volume

= 10.01/5.16

= 1.9399g/mL or 1.94kg/m3
