The mass of a mineral is 9.6g. The mineral is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 8.0 mL. Of water. The water level rise to 16.0 mL. What is the mineral’s density

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 1.20 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 = 9.6 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 16 - 8 = 8 mL

We have

[tex]density = \frac{9.6}{8} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

1.20 g/mL

Hope this helps you
