Question

4. Calculate the density of a solid when:
(a) Mass of the solid = 100 g (b) Initial volume of water in the measuring cylinder =
(c) Final volume of water when the solid is completely immersed in it = 60 mL
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Mass of solid (M)=72g

Intial volume of water V

1

=24 ml

Final volume of water V

2

=42 ml

Volume of solid (V)=V

2

–V

1

=42–24=18 cm

3

Density of solid (D)=

V

M

=

18

72

=4 g/cm
