When a solid with a mass of 53.78 g is added to 50.0 ml of water in a graduated cylinder, the volume increases to 56.4 ml. Calculate the density of the solid.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 8.40 g/mL

Explanation:

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

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

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 56.4 - 50 = 6.4 mL

We have

[tex]density = \frac{53.78}{6.4} \\ = 8.403125[/tex]

We have the final answer as

8.40 g/mL
