If an irregular object displaces 10mL of water within a graduated cylinder and its density is known as 2.5 g/mL. What is the mass of the object?
mass = volume x density
mass = 10 mL x 2.5 g/mL = ?
To find the mass of the object, we need to use the formula for density:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the density of the object is 2.5 g/mL and it displaces 10 mL of water, we can rearrange the formula to solve for mass:
Mass = Density x Volume
Substituting the values:
Mass = 2.5 g/mL x 10 mL
Mass = 25 grams
Therefore, the mass of the irregular object is 25 grams.
