You have a graduated cylinder with 10 mL of water in it.
You add 300 g of lead weights, and the volume of the
water rises to 40 mL. What is the density of the lead?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 10 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\[/tex]

From the question

mass = 300 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 40 - 10 = 30 mL

We have

[tex]density = \frac{300}{30} = \frac{30}{3} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

10 g/mL

Hope this helps you
