Question

A piece of metal weighing 302.5 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 207.4ml of water. The volume of water now reads 238.0 ml. From these data calculate the density of the metal

Answer 1

9256.5 g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula,

Density = mass/volume

;Where you need to calculate the volume change firstly,

Volume = 238.0 - 207.4

;Volume = 30.6 ml

; Hence for calculating density,

; Density = 302.5 × 30.6

; Density = 9256.5 g/ml
