you have a 100.0-ml graduated cylinder containing 50.0 ml of water. you carefully place a 109-g piece of brass (density = 8.56 g/ml) into the water. what is the final volume reading in the graduated cylinder?

show work !

The final volume reading in the graduated cylinder 62.7 ml.

Explanation:

Initial level of the water in graduated cylinder = 50 .0 ml

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

We are given:

Density of liquid = 8.56 g/mL

Mass of substance = 109 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Volume occupied by the substance = 12.7 mL

Volume occupied by the substance will increase the volume of the water more by 12.7 ml.

The final volume reading in the graduated cylinder :

50 ml + 12.7 mL = 62.7 mL
