Question

What is the density of 48 grams of metal if the metal raised the water level in a graduated cylinder from 25 ml to 33 ml?

a) 1.6 g/ml
b) 0.8 g/ml
c) 2.4 g/ml
d) 3.2 g/ml

Answer 1

The density of the metal is 6 g/ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be calculated using the formula: density = mass/volume. In this case, the mass of the metal is given as 48 grams, and the volume is the difference in the water levels in the graduated cylinder, which is 33 ml - 25 ml = 8 ml. So, the density of the metal is 48 g / 8 ml = 6 g/ml. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 6 g/ml.
