When a piece of metal mass of 69.42g is dropped into a graduated cylinder containing 24.18mL of water, the water level rises to 29.8 mL. what is the density of the metal?
9.82 g/cc or g/mL Solution: Density = mass / volume Volume is the difference in the levels of water in the cylinder. ie 28.49-22.77= 5.72 mL Mass given as 56.15 g.
