A piece of ice of mass 100 g was then gently placed in the brine solution and allowed to float freely (Figure 2). Changes in the surface level of the liquid in the cylinder were then observed until all the ice had melted. Assume that the densities of water, ice and the brine solution are 1000 kg m-3, 900 kg m3 and 1100 kg m3, respectively. 68 Figure 1 400 400 Figure 2 1m² = 1x10 mL After the ice was placed in the brine solution and before any of it had melted, the level of the brine solution was closest to 485 mL.
