Question

A graduated cylinder has a mass of 80.0 g when empty. When 20.0 mL of water is added, the

graduated cylinder has a mass of 100.0 g. If a stone is added to the graduated cylinder, the water level rises to 45.0 mL and the total mass is now 156.0 g. What is the density of the stone?

Answer 1

2.24g/

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of water is found by getting 5he extra mass the cylinder gained after adding

100g-80g=20g - mass of water

Density of water: 1g/cm³ that means that 20g water has a volume of 20cm³

1cm³=1ml; 20cm³=20ml

volume of stone is the extra height the water gained: 45ml-20ml =

25ml

mass of stone is the extra mass now earned:

156g-100g=56g

Density of stone=mass of stone÷divide by volume of stone

56g÷25ml=

2.24g/ml
