A48.0-g piece of metal is dropped into 50.0 ml of water in a graduated cylinder. the water level rises to 62.4 ml. what is the density of the metal?

calculation of the volume displaced in the cylinder:

Volume final - Volume initial

62.4 mL - 50.0 mL = 12.4 mL

Mass of metal = 48.0 g

Therefore:

D  = m / V

D = 48.0 / 12.4

D = 3.87 g/mL

Hope that helps!

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
