48.0g piece of metal is dropped into 50.0mL of water in a graduated cylinder. The water level rises to 62.4mL. What is the density of the metal?

Question

lgbasallote · Answer

first find the volume
$$V = V_F - V_1$$
your final volume is 62.4 mL and initial volume is 50.0 mL so...
$$\implies V = 62.4 - 50.0$$
simplify...
$$\implies V = 12.4 \; \text{mL}$$
now to get density use the formula
$$\rho = \frac MV$$
here, mass is 48.0 g so density is $$\implies \rho = \frac{48.0 \; g}{12.4 ~ mL}$$
use a calculator to solve

dies that help?
