Question

An object weighing 89.7 g is

placed in a graduated cylinder
displacing the volume from
50.0 mL to 60.5 mL.
What is its density in g/cm3?
[?] g/cm3

Answer 1

The answer is 8.54 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

From the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 60.5 - 50 = 10.5 mL = 10.5 cm³

We have

`density = (89.7)/(10.5) \\ = 8.5428571...`

We have the final answer as

8.54 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
