Question

A piece of metal with a mass of 611 g is placed into a graduated cylinder that contains 25. 1 ml of water, raising the water level to 56. 7 ml. What is the density of the metal?.

Answer 1

The density of the metal can be calculated by dividing the mass of the metal (611 g) by the volume of water displaced (31.6 ml). This gives a density of 19.3 g/ml…

Answer 2

19.3 g/ml or 19.3 g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of the metal can be calculated using the formula:

density = mass / volume

To find the volume of the metal, we need to determine the volume of the water that was displaced by the metal. This is equal to the difference in water level, or 56.7 ml - 25.1 ml = 31.6 ml.

Since 1 ml of water has a mass of 1 g, the volume of the metal can be converted to grams:

31.6 ml * 1 g/ml = 31.6 g

So, the density of the metal is:

density = 611 g / 31.6 g/ml = 19.3 g/ml or 19.3 g/cm^3.
