Find the density of the object below. An object was dropped into a graduated cylinder that contained 20 mL. Determine the volume of that object. The object was placed on a triple beam balance. The mass Image from http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/ Image from http://genchem.rutgers.edu/bal3b2.html
The solution … Volume = Volume of water & object – volume of water Volume = 43 mL – 20 mL V = 23 mL M = 373.3 g Density = Mass ÷ Volume D = 373.3 g ÷ 23 mL D = 16.23 g/mL
