Bill finds an unusual object and wishes to calculate it's density. He discovers a problem of accurately weighing it, because it won't stay on the weighing pan. To solve this he adds the object to a beaker containing 60 mL of distilled water and finds the water level rises to 95 mL. The flask of water weighed 595.3 grams after the object was added. If the empty beaker weighed 340 grams, calculate the following:

The weight of the water:g

The weight of the object: g

The volume of the object: cm3

The density of the object: g/cm3

My teacher was absent and she never went over this so can you please help me i woud really appreciate that??

  1. The weight of the water:g

    with a density of 1 g / ml, .... 60 ml  H2O weighs 60 grams

    The weight of the object: g

    total of 595.3 g - 340 g beaker - 60 g H2O = 195.3 grams

    The volume of the object: cm3

    95 ml total - 60 ml H2O = 35 ml

    The density of the object: g/cm3

    195.3g / 35 ml = 5.58 g / ml

    your answer is (2sigfigs) 5.6g/ml ,...(aka5.6g/cm3)
