a measuring cylinder contains 50cm cubic of water a stone has a mass of 1.75g the stone is lowered into the cylinder the level of the water in the cylinder rises to 52.5cmcubic calculate the density of the stone
1.75 g /(52.5 - 50) cm^3 = ? g/cm^3
denser than water thats all i know
To calculate the density of the stone, you need to know both its mass and the volume it occupies. In this case, the mass of the stone is given as 1.75g. We also know that when the stone is lowered into the measuring cylinder, the level of the water rises from 50cm³ to 52.5cm³.
To find the volume of the stone, we can subtract the initial volume (50cm³) from the final volume (52.5cm³):
Volume of the stone = Final volume - Initial volume
= 52.5cm³ - 50cm³
= 2.5cm³
Now that we have the mass and volume of the stone, we can calculate its density using the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Plugging in the values, we get:
Density = 1.75g / 2.5cm³
To simplify this calculation, we can convert 2.5cm³ to milliliters (mL) since 1cm³ is equal to 1mL. Thus:
Density = 1.75g / 2.5mL
Finally, we can solve for density:
Density = 0.7 g/mL
Therefore, the density of the stone is 0.7 g/mL.
