Answer to Question #182186 in General Chemistry for Perms

Question

A solid with a mass of 19.3g is added to a graduated cylinder filled with water to the 25.0 ml. mark. After the solid sinks to the button, the water level is at 35.8 ml. What is the density of the solid??

Answer 1

From the formula;

$Density(\rho)=$ $Mass(M)\over Volume(V)$

$Mass=19.3g$

$Volume after immersing solid=)35.8-25.0)=10.8mL$

Using the formula;

$19.3g\over 10.8mL$ $=1.79g/mL$
