Question

A solid with a density of 3.57g/mL and mass of 19.5g is added to a graduated cylinder that contain 23.2mL of water. What is the volume of the liquid once the solid is dropped in the cylinder?

Answer 1

Volume of liquid = 28.7 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data;

Density of solid = 3.57 g/ml

Mass of solid = 19.5 g

Volume of water = 23.2 mL

Total volume when solid is dropped into graduated cylinder= ?

Solution:

Density = mass/ volume

v = m/d

v = 19.5 g/ 3.57 g/ml

v = 5.5 mL

Volume of liquid = volume of water + volume of solid

Volume of liquid = 23.2 mL + 5.5 mL

Volume of liquid = 28.7 mL
