Question 5 of 10

Platinum has a density of 21 g/cm³. A platinum ring is placed in a graduated
cylinder that contains water. The water level rises from 4.0 mL to 4.2 mL
when the ring is added. What is the mass of the ring?
A. 2.6 g
OB. 3.8 g
OC. 4.2 g
OD. 5.2 g
B

Answer 1

4.2 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The VOLUME of the ring is 4.2 - 4.0 = .2 ml = .2 cm^3

the MASS of the ring is this times the density

.2 cm^3 * 21 g/cm^3 = 4.2 g

Answer 2

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

density is mass/volume

so mass=density × volume

but we take the change is volume that is v2-v2=4.2-4=0.2ml

but the density is in gm/cm^3 so we should convert ml into cm^3. eventually they are equal so mass=21×0.2=4.2
