a piece of lead with a mass of 25 g causes the water level in the graduated cylinder to rise 3mL. What is the density of the piece of lead?

Respuesta :

Density is given by the formula [tex]D= \frac{m}{v}[/tex], where D is equal to the density, m is mass of lead and v the volume of lead.

Since we are not given an initial volume  the change in volume is caused by the piece of lead which is a 3ml.

Therefore,

[tex]D=\frac{m}{v} =\frac{25}{3}= 8.33 g/ml[/tex]
