Calculating Volume and Density of Metal
What is the volume of the metal and what is the density of the metal?
The volume of the metal can be calculated by subtracting the initial water level from the final water level in the graduated cylinder. In this case, the initial water level was 20mL, and the final water level was 45mL. Therefore, the volume of the metal is: Volume = 45mL - 20mL = 15mL To calculate the density of the metal, we can use the formula: Density = Mass / Volume Given that the mass of the metal is 150 grams and the volume is 15mL, we can substitute these values into the formula: Density = 150g / 15mL = 10 g/mL Therefore, the volume of the metal is 15mL, and the density of the metal is 10 g/mL.
