Question

What is the density (g / mL) of a substance that has a mass of 8.11 g and, when placed into a graduated cylinder, causes the water level to rise from 25.26 mL to 44.72 mL?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 0.42 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

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

From the question

mass = 8.11 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 44.72 - 25.26 = 19.46 mL

We have

$density = \frac{8.11}{19.46} \\ = 0.416752312...$

We have the final answer as

0.42 g/mL
