A 18.5 gram sample of metal was added to a graduated cylinder that had
an initial volume of 45.50 mL. The water level raised to 54.10 mL. Using
this information, calculate the density of the metal. *

Answer:

[tex]d=2.15g/mL[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the density of the metal is computed as shown below:

[tex]d=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]

We need to calculate the volume of the solid by subtracting the final volume and the initial volume of water:

[tex]V=54.10mL-45.50mL\\\\V=8.60mL[/tex]

Thus, we obtain:

[tex]d=\frac{18.5g}{8.60mL}\\\\d=2.15g/mL[/tex]

Best regards!
