A piece of metal with a mass of 159 g is placed in a 50 mL graduated cylinder. The water level rises from 20. mL to 41 mL. What is the density of the metal?

Respuesta :

Volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the metal. So 41 - 20 = 21 ml. Density = mass / volume so density = 159 / 21 = 7.57 g/ml
