Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of the steel can be calculated by subtracting the initial volume of water (45.0 mL) from the final volume (55.5 mL). Therefore,
Volume of steel = Final volume - Initial volume
Volume of steel = 55.5 mL - 45.0 mL
Volume of steel = 10.5 mL

Therefore the correct answer is A) 10.5 mL.
