Question

An irregularly shaped stone was lowered into a graduated cylinder holding a volume of water equal to 2 mL. The height of the water rose to 7 mL. If the mass of the stone was 28 g, what was its density?

Answer 1

Density, `rho`, is mass per unit volume. `rho` `~=` `5.5` `g*mL^(-1)`

Explanation:

`rho` `=` `(28*g)/(5*mL)` `=??g*mL^(-1)`
