Question

to find the density of stopper I weighted it and found its mass to 4.8g. After that I filled a graduated cylinder with 32.1mL of water. After adding the stopper, the water level rose to 39.2mL. What is the density of the stopper?

Answer 1

0.68g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of an object is its mass per unit volume. It is calculated using the formula

Density = mass / volume

Mass of stopper weighed = 4.8g

The volume of stopper can be got by subtracting the (volume of water) from the (volume of water+stopper) i.e.

= 39.2ml - 32.1ml

= 7.1ml

Volume of stopper = 7.1ml

Density of stopper= 4.8/7.1

Density= 0.676056

Therefore, the density of the stopper is 0.68g/ml
