Question

A piece of mental with a mass of 106 g is placed in a 50 mL graduated cylinder.The volume rises from 20 mL to 31 mL. What is the destiny of the metal?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.64g/mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the metal  = 106g

Volume of cylinder = 50mL

Volume difference  = 31mL  - 20mL  = 11mL

Unknown:

Density of the metal  = ?

Solution:

To find the density of the metal, we use;

 Density  = $\frac{mass}{volume}$  

 Density  = $\frac{106}{11}$   = 9.64g/mL
