Question

You drop an unknown substance that weighs 8.3g into a graduated cylinder with 6ml of water. The water rises to 8ml when you drop the object in. What is the density of this unknown object?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 4.15 g/mL

Explanation:

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

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

From the question

mass of object = 8.3 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 8 - 6 = 2 mL

So we have

$density = \frac{8.3}{2}$

We have the final answer as

4.15 g/mL

Hope this helps you
