A piece of a metal alloy with a mass of 114 g was placed into a graduated cylinder that contained 25.0 mL of water, raising the water level to 42.5 mL. What is the density of the metal A) 0.154 g/cm³ B) 0.592 g/cm³ C) 2.68 g/cm³ D) 6.51 g/cm³ E) 7.25 g/cm³

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of the metal is found by subtracting the initial water volume from the final water volume (42.5 mL - 25.0 mL = 17.5 mL). The density is then calculated by dividing the mass of the metal (114 g) by its volume (17.5 mL), resulting in 6.51 g/cm³.
