A 8 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 46 mL of water. The water level rises to the 49 mL mark, from this information, calculate the density of iron

Respuesta :

Stephen46

Answer:

The answer is 2.67 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\[/tex]

From the question

mass of iron = 8 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 49 - 46 = 3 mL

We have

[tex]density = \frac{8}{3} \\ = 2.666666...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

2.67 g/mL

Hope this helps you
