If you have 30 ml of water in a graduated cylinder and you add a 50 gram rock to the graduated cylinder, the new
water level reads at 50 ml. What is the density of the rock?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is

2.50 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\[/tex]

From the question

mass of rock = 50 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 50 - 30 = 20

volume = 20 mL

The density of the rock is

[tex]density = \frac{50}{20} = \frac{5}{2} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

2.50 g/mL

Hope this helps you
