Question

A graduated cylinder has 20 mL of water in it. If a stone is added to the graduated cylinder, the water level rises to 45 mL. If the stone weighs 75.0 grams, what is the density of the stone?

Answer 1

3 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

45 - 20 = 25

The water level rose by 25 milliliters, meaning the volume of the rock is 25 cubic centimeters. (mL = cm³)

Density = mass/volume

75 grams/25 cm³ = 3 grams/1 cm³
