Question

density = mass/volume
what is the density of the object?
mass = 51.842 g
\final\ volume = 19.8 ml
\initial\ volume = 17.1 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the volume of the object

The volume of the object is the difference between the final volume and the initial volume. So, \( V = \text{Final Volume} - \text{Initial Volume} = 19.8\space mL - 17.1\space mL = 2.7\space mL \)

Step2: Calculate the density of the object

Using the formula for density \(
ho=\frac{m}{V} \), where \( m = 51.842\space g \) and \( V = 2.7\space mL \). Substitute the values into the formula: \(
ho=\frac{51.842}{2.7}\approx19.2\space g/mL \)

Answer:

\( 19.2\space g/mL \) (The unit is grams per milliliters as density is mass per unit volume, so the unit should be \( g/mL \))
