Question

A 8 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 46 mL of water. The water level rises to the 49 mL mark, from this information, calculate the density of iron

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 2.67 g/mL

Explanation:

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

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

From the question

mass of iron = 8 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 49 - 46 = 3 mL

We have

$density = \frac{8}{3} \\ = 2.666666...$

We have the final answer as

2.67 g/mL

Hope this helps you
