Question

A piece of green jade has a mass of 23.401 g.if the sample of jade displaces 50.0 ml of water to 56.5 ml in a 100 ml graduated cylinder,what is the density of the jade.

Answer 1

we know that

The density is equal to the formula

`Density=(mass)/(volume)`

in this problem we have

`mass=23.401\ gr`

Find the volume of a piece of green jade

`Volume=56.5\ ml-50.0\ ml=6.5\ ml`

Substitute the values in the formula of density

`Density=(23.401)/(6.5)`

`Density=3.60(gr)/(ml)`

therefore

the answer is

`Density=3.60(gr)/(ml)`
