Answer to Question #93680 in Physical Chemistry for solo

Question

A metal sphere weighing 19.48g is added to 20ml of water in a graduated cylinder. If the density of the metal is 4.50g/ml, what will be the new level of water in the graduated cylinder?

Answer 1

$V=V_w+V_s$

$V_w=20ml$

$V_s=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{19.48}{4.50}=4.33ml$

$V=20+4.33=24.33ml$

Answer 24.33ml
