when a sample of metal (density =19.4g/cm^3) is placed in a graduated cylinder containing some liquid, the volume of the liquid increases from 25.4ml to 26.8 ml. if the total mass (metal+liquid + cylinder) is 149.8g and the mass of the empty cylinder is 35.2g, what is the density of the liquid?

Question
when a sample of metal (density =19.4g/cm^3) is placed in a graduated cylinder containing some liquid, the volume of the liquid increases from 25.4ml to 26.8 ml. if the total mass (metal+liquid + cylinder) is 149.8g and the mass of the empty cylinder is 35.2g, what is the density of the liquid?
Expert Solution
Step 1: Determine the density of a liquid from the given data:

Given,

density of the metal = 19.4 g/cm3

After adding metal, the volume of liquid increases from 25.4 mL to 26.8 mL.

Total mass ( mass of liquid + mass of metal + mass of cylinder ) = 149.8 g

mass of the empty cylinder = 35.2 g
