Question

28.5 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45.50 mL of water. The water level rises to the 49.10 mL mark. From this information, calculate the density of iron.

HELLPPP CAN SOMEONE SOLVE THIS???

Answer 1

Density if iron shot = 7.92 g/ml (2 sig. figs.)

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, density is mass per unit volume. That is,

Density (D) = mass(m)/Volume(V)

mass(m) = 28.5g (given)

Volume(V, of iron shot) = 49.10ml - 45.5ml = 3.6ml

Substitutuing into D = m/V = 28.5g/3.6ml = 7.9166667 g/ml (calc.ans)

≅ 7.92 g/ml (2 sig. figs.)

Hope this helps. :-)
