Question

An irregularly shaped stone was lowered into a graduated cylinder holding

a volume of water equal to 13.5 mL. The water level rose to a height of 22.7
mL. If the mass of the stone was 35 g, what was its density?

Answer 1

3.80 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

`density = (mass)/(volume)\\`

From the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 22.7 - 13.5 = 9.2 mL

We have

`density = (35)/(9.2) \\ = 3.804347`

We have the final answer as

3.80 g/mL

Hope this helps you
