Question

A student used a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder to determine the density of a sample of an element. The mass was recorded as 10.9 g, the volume of water was 30.0 mL, the volume of the water and the sample of the element was 34.0 mL. What was the volume of the object?

Answer 1

ANSWER: 4.0

Step-by-step explanation:

34.0 - 30.0 = 4.0

When you subtract the volume of the water and sample you are given the mass of the object. For example, if you weighed an apple in a container at 15g and then you massed the apple at a roughly 8g.

15 - 8 = 7

So the container was 7g
