You place 75 mL sea wter in a graduated cylinder with a mass of 55 grams mass of sea water and cylinder together is 140 grams what is the density of the sea water g/mL
To find the density of the sea water, you need to divide the mass of the sea water by its volume.
1. Start by subtracting the mass of the empty graduated cylinder from the total mass of the sea water and cylinder together:
Mass of sea water = Total mass - Mass of empty cylinder
= 140 g - 55 g
= 85 g
2. The volume of the sea water is given as 75 mL.
3. Now, divide the mass of the sea water by its volume to find the density:
Density = Mass / Volume
= 85 g / 75 mL
= 1.133 g/mL
Therefore, the density of the sea water is 1.133 g/mL.
