Question

Water in a graduated cylinder has a volume of 30.0 mL. It rises to 35.0 mL when 10.0 g of weights are

dropped in. What is the density of the weights?

Answer 1

2 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for density is
`(mass)/(volume)`

The mass of the weights is 10 g.

The increase in volume is 5 mL.

`(10)/(5)` = 2 g/mL
