The mass of a piece of metal is 134.412134.412 g. It is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 12.3512.35 mL water. The volume of the metal and water in the cylinder is found to be 19.4019.40 mL. Calculate the density of the metal.
Answer
Density = 19.066 g/cm3 ExplanationDensity = Mass / Volume Mass of the metal = 134.412g Volume of the metal = Volume of Metal and Water – Volume of water 19.40 mL – 12.35 mL = 7.05 mL Density = 134.412 g / 7.05 mL = 19.066 g/mL or 19.066 g/cm3 |
