Question

If 35.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder is displaced by 8.00 mL

once a 14.0 g rock is placed inside, what is the density of the rock?

Answer 1

0.52 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

`density = (mass)/(volume)\\`

From the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 35 - 8 = 27 mL

We have

`density = (14)/(27) \\ = 0.518518...`

We have the final answer as

0.52 g/mL

Hope this helps you
