Answer:
11.7 mL
Explanation:
Density of a substance is given by the mass of the substance divided by the volume of the substance .
Hence , d = m / V
V = volume
m = mass ,
d = density ,
From the question ,
The density of the metal = 10.5 g/cm³
The mass of the metal = 5.25 g
Hence , the volume can be calculated from the above formula , i.e. ,
d = m / V
V = m / d
V = 5.25 g / 10.5 g/cm³
V = 0.5 cm³
Since , The unit 1 mL = 1 cm³
V = 0.5 mL
The vessel has 11.2 mL of water ,
The new volume becomes ,
11.2 mL + 0.5 mL = 11.7 mL
