Question

Iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm3. If 52.4 g of iron is added to 75.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume reading will the water level in the cylinder rise?

Answer 1

Answer: 81.7 ml

Explanation:

1 cm^3 = 1 ml

Divide the total mass by it's density to find it's volume:

(52.4g/7.87g/ml) = 6.658 ml

Add to 75.0 ml to arrive at a final volume of 81.7 ml
