The volume of a 12.4 g metal pellet is measured by water displacement. It is added to a graduated cylinder filled with water, and the level rises from 10.00 mL to 13.65 mL. What is the density of the metal?

Respuesta :

Answer:

                3.39 g.mL⁻¹ or 3.39 g.cm⁻³

Solution:

Data Given:

                             Mass of Pellet  =  12.4 g

                             Volume of Pellet  =  13.65 mL - 10.00 mL  =  3.65 mL

                             Density  =  ?

Formula Used,

                             Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Putting values,

                             Density  =  12.4 g ÷ 3.65 mL

                             Density =  3.39 g.mL⁻¹ or 3.39 g.cm⁻³
