Answer:
12.50 mL
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of Zinc = 2.67 g
Density of Zinc = 7.14 g/mL
Volume of water = 12.13 mL
Final volume reading =?
Next, we shall determine the density of the piece of zinc. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of Zinc = 2.67 g
Density of Zinc = 7.14 g/mL
Volume of Zinc =?
Density = mass / volume
7.14 = 2.67 / volume of Zinc
Cross multiply
7.14 × volume of Zinc = 2.67
Divide both side by 7.14
Volume of Zinc = 2.67 / 7.14
Volume of Zinc = 0.37 mL
Finally, we shall determine the final volume reading of the graduated cylinder. This can be obtained as follow:
Volume of water = 12.13 mL
Volume of Zinc = 0.37 mL
Final volume reading =?
Final volume reading = (Volume of water) + (Volume of Zinc)
Final volume reading = 12.13 + 0.37
Final volume reading = 12.50 mL
Thus, the final volume reading of the graduated cylinder is 12.50 mL
