A 795-centigram sample of borax was placed in a certain volume of water at 25 degrees celsius. After adding the sample, the graduated cylinder was read at 35 mL, where a rise of 2.7 mL was observed. What is the weight (grams) of sample? What was the initial volume (millimeters) of water?  What will be the weight of displaced water in grams? What is the specific gravity of the solid? What will be its specific volume?
