What is the density of the solid object that is weighed and submerged in the water

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solid item that is submerged in water has a density of9.8g/mL

Step by step solution

01

Introduction 

The given is the weight of a solid object that is submerged in the water

The objective is to find the density of the solid object submerged in the water

02

Step 1

Any substance's density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume. As a result, a substance's density is an inherent attribute.

The solid object of 8.24g is submerged in the graded cylinder containing water in this problem. 18.5mL is the initial volume of water in the cylinder. After immersing an object, the volume of water is 23.1mL.

A given object's mass is 8.24g

Volumeincreasedbysubmerging=Finalvolume-Initialvolume=23.1-18.5=4.6mL

.Thus, the volume of the object is4.6mL
03

Step 2

The object's mass is 8.24gwith three significant figures, whereas its volume is 4.6mLwith two significant numbers. When performing this computation, we must take into account significant figure calculation criteria.

Density of solid object =mass ingvolume inmL

=8.24g4.6mL=1.79gmL

The denominator, on the other hand, has two significant figures, hence the answer should also have two significant figures.

As a result, the answer is The solid object's density.1.8g/mL

The solid item submerged in water has a density of

1.8g/mL
