A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 22.4g. A graduated cylinder contains 3.2 ml of water. After the metal sample is added to the graduated cylinder, the water level reads 4.7 ml. Calculate the density of the metal

d = 14.9 g/mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of metal = 22.4 g

Volume of eater = 3.2 mL

Volume of water + metal = 4.7 mL

Density of metal = ?

Solution:

Volume of metal:

Volume of metal = volume of water+ metal - volume of water

Volume of metal = 4.7 mL - 3.2 mL

Volume of metal = 1.5 mL

Density of metal:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

d = 22.4 g/ 1.5 mL

d = 14.9 g/mL

c) should be the answer.

the answer is 0.42 is that is an option. this question provides no info
