A student weighed an empty graduated cylinder. It weighed 35.86 g. She then carefully added water to the graduated cylinder until it reached the 7.5 mL mark. When she weighed the graduated cylinder again, this time with the 7.5 mL of water in it, it weighed 43.18 g. What was this student's experimental density of water? A relationship between the number of pennies and density

Question:

A student weighed an empty graduated cylinder. It weighed 35.86 g. She then carefully added water to the graduated cylinder until it reached the 7.5 mL mark. When she weighed the graduated cylinder again, this time with the 7.5 mL of water in it, it weighed 43.18 g. What was this student's experimental density of water?

Answer:

0.976 g/mL

Explanation:

Weight of empty cylinder = 35.86g

Volume of water = 7.5mL

Weight of cylinder + water = 43.18g

Experimental density = ?

Density of water = Mass of water / volume of water

Mass of water = (Weight of cylinder + water) - Weight of empty cylinder

Mass of water = 43.18 - 35.86 = 7.32g

Density = 7.32 / 7.5 = 0.976 g/mL
