Question

11

When an object is dropped into a graduated cylinder, the water in the
cylinder rises from 50.OmL to 56.3 mL. The mass of the object is 15.9 g.
What is the density of the object? *

Answer 1

The answer is 2.52 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

`density = (mass)/(volume) \\`

From the question

mass of object = 15.9 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 56.3 - 50 = 6.3 mL

It's density is

`density = (15.9)/(6.3) \\ = 2.523809...`

We have the final answer as

2.52 g/mL
