Question

A graduated cylinder contains 10. 00 ml water. A 14. 74 g piece of aluminum is added to the water, and the volume rises to 15. 46 ml. What is the density of the aluminum in g/ml?

Answer 1

2.7 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = mass/volume

To find the mass, we subtract the new water volume by the original water volume

15.46 - 10 = 5.46

The volume of the aluminum is 5.46 mL

We already got the mass of aluminum, 14.74

Now we just divide mass by volume to find the density

14.74 ÷ 5.46 = 2.699633
