Question

A metal object has a density of 2 g/ml. When placed in a graduated cylinder with 500 ml of water, the

water rises to 508 ml. What is the mass of the metal object?

Answer 1

The answer is 16 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question

density = 2 g/ml

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 508 - 500 = 8 mL

We have

mass = 2 × 8

We have the final answer as

16 g
