Answer:

7.92 .g . mL^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Water liters = 45.5 mL

Pace of iron = 28.5 gram

Rise in the water in the cylinder = 49.1 mark

So by considering the above information

As we know that


Density = (Mass)/(Volume)

where,

Mass = 28.5 gram

Volume = 49.1 - 45.5

= 3.6 mL

So, the density is


Density = (28.5)/(3.6)

= 7.92 .g . mL^-1

Basically we use the density formula by dividing the mass with the volume
