If 4.00 g Pb (density = 11.34 g/mL) is placed in a graduated cylinder partially filled with water, how many milliliters of water will be displaced?

Respuesta :

Mass of lead Pb = 4.00 g (given)

Density of lead= 11.34 g/mL (given)

When lead is placed in a graduated cylinder which is partially filled with water, the volume of lead will be the volume of water displaced by it.

Density (d) of a substance is the ratio of mass (m) to the volume (m) of the substance.

The formula of density is given as:

[tex]d= \frac{m}{v}[/tex]

Putting the given values of density and mass of lead, we get

[tex]11.34 g/mL= \frac{4.00 g}{v}[/tex]

Rearrange the equation, to find the volume

[tex]V= \frac{4.00 g}{11.34 g/mL}[/tex]

[tex]V= 0.3527 mL \simeq 0.353 mL[/tex]

Therefore, volume replaced by lead is 0.353 mL
