You have a 100.0-mL graduated cylinder containing 50.0 mL of water. You carefully place a 180-g piece of brass (density = 8.56 g/mL) into the water. What is the final volume reading in the graduated cylinder?

Answer :

Answer:

Therefore the final volume reading in the graduated cylinder is 71.028 mL.

Explanation:

Density: Density is determined by dividing the mass of the material with the volume of the material.

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

The S.I unit of mass is Kg

The C.G.S unit of mass is gram

The S.I unit of volume is

The C.G.S unit of volume is cm³

Therefore S.I unit of density is = Kg/m³

and C.G.S unit is g/cm³.

given that the mass of brass = 180 g

And the density of brass = 8.56g/mL

We know that,

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

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

[tex]\Rightarrow volume = \frac{180 g}{8.56g/mL}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow volume = 21.028 mL[/tex]

The graduated cylinder is containing 50.0 mL of water.

After the placing the brass into the Cylinder, then the volume become

=(volume of water+ volume of brass)

=(50.0+21.028)mL

=71.028 mL

Therefore the final volume reading in the graduated cylinder is 71.028 mL.
