A sample of an alloy (density = 9.62 g/cm³)was submerged in a graduated cylinder containing water. The water level in the cylinder rose from 166.5 cm³ to 182.0 cm³. What was the mass of the sample?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of the alloy is the change in water level, 182.0 cm³ - 166.5 cm³ = 15.5 cm³. Using the density formula, mass = density × volume, the mass is 9.62 g/cm³ × 15.5 cm³ = 149.11 g, which rounds to 149 g.
