A piece of indium with a mass of 16.6 g is submerged in 46.3 cm3 of water in a graduated cylinder. The water level increases to 48.6 cm3. What is the density of indium to the proper number of significant figures

the density of indium is  7.2 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The computation of the density of indium is shown below:

Given that

Mass = 16.6 g

Volume = 48.6 c,^3 - 46.3cm^3 = 2.3 cm^3

Based on the above information

As we know that

Density = mass  ÷ volume

So,

= 16.6g ÷ 2.3 cm^3

= 7.2 g/cm^3

hence, the density of indium is  7.2 g/cm^3

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered  

true is the correct answer
