Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference between the weight of the filled glass tube and the weight of the empty glass tube is due to the weight of the water inside the tube. So, we can find the volume of the water by subtracting the weight of the empty tube from the weight of the filled tube:

54.1 g - 37.3 g = 16.8 g

We know that the density of water is 1 g/cm³, so we can convert the weight of water into volume by dividing it by its density:

16.8 g ÷ 1 g/cm³ = 16.8 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the glass tube is 16.8 cm³, which is given by choice A.
