Question

58.5 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 95.50 mL of water. The

water level rises to the 115.10 mL mark. From this information, calculate the density of
iron.

Answer 1

2.98 kg/l

the volume of iron is the volume added to the cylinder

=115.1-95.5

=19.6

density equals mass divided by volume

58.5 divided by 19.6

is 2.98 g/ml which is actually 2.98 kg/L also using conversion
