The density of sample X is 4 g/ml.
The given parameters;
- Mass of sample X = 20 g
- Initial volume of water before the sample was placed = 14 ml
- Final volume of water after the sample was placed = 19 ml
The volume of the sample X is the increase in the volume of water after it was placed in the cylinder.
- Volume of sample X = 19 ml - 14 ml = 5 ml
- Mass of sample of X = 20 g
The density is obtained by dividing the mass of sample X by its volume as shown below;
[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \ g/ml[/tex]
Thus, the density of sample X is 4 g/ml.
