Question

Water in a graduated cylinder has a volume of 30.0 mL. It rises to 35.0 mL when 10.0 g of weights are
dropped in. What is the density of the weights?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 g/mL

Explanation:

The formula for density is  $\frac{mass}{volume}$

The mass of the weights is 10 g.

The increase in volume is 5 mL.

$\frac{10}{5}$ = 2 g/mL
