Question

An object has a mass of 5.800 grams. This object is dropped into a gradulated cylinder containing 25.0 mL of water, causing the level of the water to rise to 45.8 mL. What is the density of the object? 

Answer 1

density = mass / volume

 

mass = 5.800 grams

 

V = volume of the displaced water, assuming the object is fully immersed

 

V = (45.8 ml) - (25.0 mL)

 

Plug these numbers into density = mass / volume
