8.5 g of metal is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water. The level of water increases from 40.0 ml to 44.5 ml. The density of the metal is _____ g/ml. (Use the correct number of significant figures in your answer)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Density of metal = 1.89 g/mL

Explanation:

Volume of the metal = Volume of water and metal system - Volume of water

Volume of water and metal system = 44.5 mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Volume of the metal = 44.5 mL - 40.0 mL = 4.5 mL

Given, mass = 8.5 g

The expression for density is:

[tex]Density (\rho)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Volume(V)}[/tex]

[tex]Density (\rho)=\frac{8.5\ g}{4.5\ mL}[/tex]

Density of metal = 1.89 g/mL
