Question

lead has a density of 11.3 g/ml, If you weigh an empty beaker and it weighs 245.61 g then add lead until the scale reads 350.52 g what is the volume of lead that you have?

Answer 1

9.28ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of Lead (Pb) can be calculated using the formula:

Density (g/ml) = Mass (g) / Volume (ml)

According to the question, the empty beaker weighs 245.61 g, then weighed 350.52 g when lead was added to it. This means that the mass of lead in the breaker is: 350.52 g - 245.61 g = 104.91 g

Hence, mass of lead= 104.91g, density of lead= 11.3g/ml

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 104.91/11.3

Volume= 9.284

Hence, the volume of lead is 9.28ml
