The marble in the figure to the right has a mass of 3.75 g. When placed in a graduated cylinder, as pictured, the water level changes from 25 mL to 28 mL. What is the density of the marble?

Answer:

The answer is 1.25 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 = 3.75 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 28 - 25 = 3 mL

We have


density = (3.75)/(3) \\

We have the final answer as

1.25 g/mL

Hope this helps you
