Answer : The density of the rock is, 1.339g/cm^3

Explanation : Given,

Mass of the rock = 15 g

Initial volume = 25 ml

Increased volume = 36.2 ml

First we have to calculate the volume of the rock.

Volume of rock = Increased volume of water - Initial volume of water

Volume of rock = 36.2 ml - 25 ml = 11.2 ml

Now we have to calculate the density of rock.

Formula used :

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the density of the rock.

Density=\frac{15g}{11.2ml}=1.339g/ml=1.339g/cm^3

Conversion : 1ml=1cm^3

Therefore, the density of the rock is, 1.339g/cm^3

Density is defined as mass/volume, and the volume is 36.2-25 mL
so just substitute into the equation to get the answer. 

Hope this helps.

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

8700

Explanation:

First, do the operations i<em>nside parentheses</em>.

102 900/12 = 8600     2 sfs because of 12

170/1.27 = 130              2 sfs because of trailing 0 in 170

===============

Now, do the addition.

 8600

<u>  + </u><u>13</u><u>0 </u>

8700

The answer has two significant figures because when adding, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.  

The last significant figure in 8600 (the 6, in the hundreds place) is further to the left than the last significant figure in 130 (the 3, in the tens place).

We round off to the nearest hundred and get the answer, 8700.

slava [35]
First of all scientific evidence is anything that is gathered using the scientific method that supports a hypothesis can be considered. According to me, a good place to start evaluating is to look at whether the evidence was collected using good scientific principles.

Good luck :)

Hey there!

Elements and compounds are purely homogeneous substances and they have a constant composition throughout. Elements and compounds cannot be separated into their respective constituents by physical means. Compounds and mixtures are made up of different elements or different atoms.
