Question

A student filled the graduated cylinder up to the 9.6 mL mark, but incorrectly recorded the volume as 10.0 mL. How would this affect the density? Explain.

Answer 1

0.4 ml will be affect the density.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A student filled the graduated cylinder up to the 9.6 mL mark.

Recorded volume = 10.0 mL

We know that,

Density :

Density is equal to the mass divided by volume.

In mathematically,

`\rho=(m)/(V)`

Where, m = mass

V = volume

Affect the density :

Affect the density is equal to the change in volume.

We need to calculate the affect the density

Using formula of affect the density

`\rho=V'-V`

Put the value into the formula

`\rho=10.0-9.6`

`\rho=0.4\ ml`

Hence, 0.4 ml will be affect the density.
