Question

What is the mass of a solid that has a density of 2.562 g/ml and displaces 1.05 ml of water?

Answer 1

p=2.562 g/ml

v=1.05 ml

m=p·v
m=2.562g/ml·1.05ml=2.6901 g

Answer 2

Answer: The mass of the solid will be 2.69 grams.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

`Density=(mass)/(Volume)`

Given :

Density of solid =
`2.562g/ml`

Mass of solid = ?grams

Volume of water displaced = 1.05 ml

Putting in the values we get:

`2.562g/ml=(mass)/(1.05ml)`

`mass=2.69grams`

Thus the mass of solid is 2.69 grams.
