An irregularly shaped solid sample with a mass of 24.36 g was placed in a partially filled graduated cylinder. The volume in the cylinder increased from 15.00 mL to 18.45 mL. What is the density of the solid

Answer : The density of the solid is, 7.06 g/mL

Explanation :

Mass of solid sample = 24.36 g

Volume of solid sample = Final volume of cylinder - Initial volume of cylinder

Volume of solid sample = 18.45 mL - 15.00 mL

Volume of solid sample = 3.45 mL

Now we have to calculate the density of the solid.

As we know that:

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

Thus, the density of the solid is, 7.06 g/mL
