Question

A 4.80-gram piece of magnesium displaces 2.76 mL of water when it is placed in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of magnesium?

Answer 1

1.73913043g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is how much a substance would weigh per 1 mL of the substance. So it is measured by dividing weight (g) by volume (mL).

4.80g/2.76mL = 1.73913043g/mL
