Question 13 of 16

The mass of a piece of metal is 25.4253 grams. When the piece of
metal was dropped into a graduated cylinder that had an initial water
volume of 6.85 cm, the total volume was 9.84 cm? What is the
density of the piece of metal in g/cm??

Answer 1

`\rho =8.50g/cm^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, due to the volume difference caused by the addition of the metal, one could notice that the volume of the metal is:

`V_(metal)=9.84cm^3-6.85cm^3=2.99cm^3`

In such a way, given the mathematical definition of density, it turns out:

`\rho =(m)/(V)=(25.4253g)/(2.99cm^3)\\\\\rho =8.50g/cm^3`

Regards.
