A chunk of solid calcium has a mass of 250g and when dropped into water it displaces the water in the graduated cylinder from 35mL to 196mL. What is the density of calcium?

Answer :

Answer:

The answer is

1.55 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 calcium = 250 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 196 - 35 = 161 mL

It's density is

[tex]density = \frac{250}{161} \\ = 1.552795031...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

1.55 g/mL

Hope this helps you
