Question 90627: Please help me to solve this problem.
380 grams of liquid whose density id 0.95 g/cc is poured into the graduated cylinder. When 100 grams of metal is submerged into the liquid, the liquid level in the graduated cylinder rises to 450 cc. What is the density of the metal?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you need to find out how much liquid volume is in the graduated cylinder:
volume=mass%2Fdensity
so,
V=380g%2F.95g%2Fcc
400cc=380g%2F.95g%2Fcc
Next, determine the volume of the metal placed into the graduated cylinder:
450cc = liquid volume in cylinder with the metal
400cc = liquid volume in cylinder without the metal
450cc-400cc=50cc

Finally, determine the density of the metal:
density+=+mass%2Fvolume
density=100g%2F50cc
density=2%28g%2Fcc%29
