Question

A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 6.557 g. The metal was carefully added to a graduated cylinder containing 10.50 mL of water. The water level in the graduated cylinder rose to 11.16 mL. What is the density of the unknown metal?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Be careful. The tricky part of the problem is that there are 4 places of sig digs.

m = 6.557 grams

V = 11.16 - 10.50 = 0.66

density = mass/ volume

density = 6.557/0.66 = 9.935 g/mL
