Chapter 1, Problem 1.89SP
An experiment is performed to determine if pennies are made Of pure copper. The mass of 10 pennies was measured on a balance and found to be 24.656 g. The volume was found by dropping the 10 pen- nies into a graduated cylinder initially containing 10.0 mL of water. The volume after the pennies were added was 12.90 ml,. Calculate the density of the pennies. If the density of pure copper at the same temperature is 8.96 g/ cm3, are the pennies made of pure copper?

A rock is placed on a balance and its mass is determined to be
22.410 g. When the same rock is placed in a graduated cylinder
that originally contains 11.34 mL of water, the new volume of water
is 17.82 mL. What should the density of the rock be reported as?
A student places 14.8 mL of water in a graduated cylinder. The mass of the water and the graduated cylinder is found to be 41.721 grams, and then the balance is tared. After adding a number of metal pellets to the graduated cylinder, the liquid level in the cylinder is now 28.8 mL. The cylinder with the water and metal pellets is placed back on the balance, and the measured mass is 71.371 grams. Calculate the density of the metal pellets in g/mL. Do not include units in your answer.

- Finding the density of an unknown liquid. Having obtained the volume of the flask, the student emptied the flask, dried it, and filled it with an unknown liquid whose density she wished to determine. The mass of the stoppered flask when completely filled with liquid was 57.418g. Find the density of the liquid. a. First we need to find the mass of the liquid by measuring the difference: Massofliquid=gg=g b. Since the volume of the liquid equals that of the flask, we know both the mass and volume of the liquid and can easily find its density using the equation in lb. Make the calculation.
