Twenty irregular pieces of an unknown metal have a collective mass of 28.225 g. When carefully placed in a graduated cylinder that originally contained 7.75 mL of water, the final volume read 11.70 mL. What is the density of the metal (in g/cm3)?

Explanation:

Use the density formula to determine the volume of the piece of metal.

density

=

mass

volume

Rearrange the equation to isolate volume.

volume

=

=

21.0 mL

The final volume in the cylinder after adding the piece of metal is

20.0 mL

+

21.0 mL

=

41.0 mL

answer: at room temperature (roughly 20 degrees c), you can dissolve 203.9 grams (or 200 grams) of sugar in 100 ml of water. as water temperature increases, the amount of sugar that will dissolve increases, up to about 500 grams of sugar in 100 ml water at 100 degrees c.
