Question 13 of 16
The mass of a piece of metal is 25.4253 grams. When the piece of
metal was dropped into a graduated cylinder that had an initial water
volume of 6.85 cm, the total volume was 9.84 cm? What is the
density of the piece of metal in g/cm??

Answer:

[tex]\rho =8.50g/cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, due to the volume difference caused by the addition of the metal, one could notice that the volume of the metal is:

[tex]V_{metal}=9.84cm^3-6.85cm^3=2.99cm^3[/tex]

In such a way, given the mathematical definition of density, it turns out:

[tex]\rho =\frac{m}{V}=\frac{25.4253g}{2.99cm^3}\\\\\rho =8.50g/cm^3[/tex]

Regards.
