Question

A metal object has a mass of 8.37 g. When it was placed in a graduated cylinder containing 20.0 mL of water, the water level rose to 23.1 mL. What is the density and identity of the metal?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

mass = 8.37 grams

volume = 23.1 - 20.0 = 3.1 mL

density = mass / volume

density = 8.37 / 3.10 = 2.70

Be sure and add the 0 in your answer. You have 3 places of significant digits.
