Pure aluminum metal has density 2.70g/cm3. If we add a solid aluminum cylinder to a graduated cylinder containing 19.2mL of water, and the water level in the cylinder rises to 24.7mL, what is the mass of the aluminum?

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$d=m/v$$
volume = 24.7mL - 19.2mL = 5.5mL
density = 2.70g/cm^3
solve for mass by multiplying volume * density

mass should be = 14.85 grams
Unless there is a conversion that I may have missed.
