Answer:
Density of the solid=[tex]2.78 g/cm^3[/tex]
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of sample of metal=4.369 g
Volume in the flask, V=126.4 ml
Mass of water, flask, and metal=268.5 g
Mass of flask=139.3 g
Density of water=1.000 g/mL
We have to find the density of the solid.
Mass of water=268.5-4.369-139.3=124.831 g
Volume of water=[tex]\frac{Mass\;of\;water}{density\;of\;water}[/tex]
Volume of water=[tex]\frac{124.831}{1}=124.831 mL[/tex]
Volume of solid=126.4 ml-124.831 mL
=1.569mL
Now,
Density of the solid=[tex]\frac{mass\;of\;solid}{volume\;of\;solid}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{4.369}{1.569}[/tex]
[tex]=2.78g/mL[/tex]
1mL=1 cubic cm
Therefore,
Density of the solid=[tex]2.78 g/cm^3[/tex]
