Question

A piece of silver (Ag) metal weighing 194.3 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 242.0 mL of water. The volume of water now reads 260.5 ml. From these data calculate the density of silver.

Answer 1

The density of the jewelry is 10.57 g/mL. It is likely made of lead or silver based on its density.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the density of the jewelry, we need to use the formula Density = Mass/Volume. First, we subtract the initial volume of water from the final volume to find the volume of the jewelry. The volume of the jewelry is 61.2 mL - 48.6 mL = 12.6 mL. Then, we divide the mass of the jewelry (132.6 g) by its volume (12.6 mL) to find its density. The density of the jewelry is 132.6 g/12.6 mL = 10.57 g/mL.

Assuming that the jewelry is made from only one substance, we can compare its density to known densities of different substances. Based on the density of 10.57 g/mL, the jewelry is likely to be made of a material such as lead (density of 11.34 g/mL) or silver (density of 10.49 g/mL). However, without further information or testing, we cannot definitively determine the exact substance.

Answer 2

10.5027027 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density is the result to divide the mass to the volume.

In this case, the volume which is occupeted for the piece of silver is the difference between the volume with the silver inside the cylinder containing minus the initial volume (only water).

V = 260.5mL - 242.0mL = 18.5 mL

The mass of silver is a data: M=194.3g

Density = M/V ⇒ Density = 194.3g / 18.5mL

Density= 10.5027027 g/mL
