Question

A student places a small stone with a mass of 5 g into a graduated cylinder containing 50 mL of water. With the stone in the graduated cylinder, the water rises to 75 mL. What is the density of the stone? a. 0.07 g/mL b. 0.20 g/mL c. 5.00 g/mL d. 125.00 g/mL​

Answer 1

0.20 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

`density = (mass)/(volume) \\`

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 75 - 50 = 25 mL

From the question we have

`density = (5)/(25) = (1)/(5) = 0.2 \\`

We have the final answer as

0.20 g/mL

Hope this helps you
