A graduated cylinder is filled with water to a volume of 44.0 mL. When an irregularly shaped solid piece of metal was added, the volume increased to 47.2 mL. If the piece of metal had a mass of 45.5 g

Question

what is the density of the metal?

Answer 1

Look up Archimedes Principle

Change in volume = 47.2 ml - 44.0 ml = 3.2 ml = volume of the metal

Density = g / ml

Density = 45.5 g / 3.2 ml = 14 g/ml
