Question

q15. what is the volume of the solid in the following picture? mass = 51.842 g \final\ volume = 19.8 ml \initial\ volume = 17.1 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume - displacement method

The volume of the solid is equal to the difference between the final volume of the liquid - solid mixture and the initial volume of the liquid.

Step2: Calculate the volume of the solid

Let $V_{final}=19.8\ mL$ and $V_{initial}=17.1\ mL$. Then $V = V_{final}-V_{initial}$.
$V=19.8 - 17.1$
$V = 2.7\ mL$

Answer:

$2.7\ mL$
