Question

a metal sample has a mass of 7.56 g. the sample is placed into a graduated cylinder previously filled with 20.00 mL of water. If the final volume in the cylinder is 21.68 mL, what is the density of the substance?

Answer 1

4.5g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

metal sample has a mass = 7.56 g

cylinder previously filled with water = 20.00 mL

final volume in the cylinder = 21.68 mL

`density = (mass)/(V_f - V_i)`

`density = (7.56)/((21.68 - 20.00))`

density = 4.5g/ml
