Answer to Question #130487 in General Chemistry for sarah

Question

in order to keep them preserved he plays the heads in an aquarium field with 1000.0 mL of water. If the average human head has a mass of 4500.0 g and a density of 0.6429 g/milliliters what will be the final volume of water after head is placed in the cylinder?

Answer 1

when a body is immersed in a liquid the volume of the liquid with the body immersed in it increases by the amount of the body volume

$V=\frac{m}{p}=\frac{4500}{0.6429}=6999.53 mL$

V=Vw+Vh=1000+6999.53=7999.53
