Question

A graduated cylinder is filled with 60.0 ml of water. A cube, made of aluminum, is carefully dropped into the cylinder. Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/ml. The mass of the cube is 13.5 grams. What is the new volume in the graduated cylinder?

Answer 1

65 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The aluminum will not float , so it will displace a volume of fluid equal to its volume.

13.5 gm / 2.7 gm/ml = 5 ml

the new graduated cylinder measurement will be 60 + 5 = 65 ml
