NEED HELP ASAP!!!

A dry beaker has a mass of 55.0 g. When 50.0 mL of water is added to the beaker, the mass of the water and the beaker is 105.0 g. What is the density of the water?

Answer:

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the density of water from the given measurements, we must first get the mass of water. We get this by subtracting the mass of the beaker from the mass of the beaker and the water.

105.0 g - 55.0 g = 50.0 g

Now since we have both mass and volume, we can get density. Density is mass over volume, so we can get it by dividing the mass by the volume.

50.0 g ÷ 50.0 mL = 1.00 g/mL

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL.
