Answer:

Volume of liquid = 28.7 mL

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

The Volume of liquid = volume of water + volume of solid

Volume of liquid = 23.2 mL + 5.5 mL

Volume of liquid = 28.7 mL
