Question

When a piece of metal mass of 72.17 g is

dropped into a graduated cylinder containing
20.92 mL of water, the water level rises to
26.64 mL. What is the density of the metal?
Answer in units of g/cm3
.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is in finding the volume.

Final Volume = 26.64

Initial Volume=20.92 Subtract

Metal Volume 5.72 cm^3

Density = mass / volume

Density = 72.17 / 5.72

Density = 12.617
