Water is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume is recorded as 43.5 ml. a homogeneous sample of metal pellets with a mass of 10.88 g is added and the volume of the water now reads 49.4 ml. what is the density of the metal in g/ml.?

Respuesta :

density = mass /volume of the body. mass = 10.88 g, volume of the liquid displaced= 49.4-43.5=5.9 ml.

density = 10.88/5.9=1.844 g/ml~1.84 g/ml

The volume displaced is exactly the same as that of the body (The Eureka fro Archimedes!)

The density of the metal would be 1.84 g/mL

Density

Mathematically;

Density = mass/volume

Mass of metal = 10.88 g

An object will always displace its own volume in water.

Volume of the metal = Cylinder's reading before adding metal - Cylinder's reading after adding metal

       

                      49.4 - 43.5 = 5.9 mL

Density of metal = 10.88/5.9

                               = 1.84 g/mL
