copper has a density of 9g/mL. if 25 g of copper is placed in a dry 100 mL graduated cylinder, how many mL's of water are needed to fill the graduated cylinder to the 100 mL line?

The amount of water needed to fill the graduated cylinder to the 100 mL line would be 97.22 mL

Density problem

The density of a substance is mathematically given as:

Density = mass (in grams)/ volume (in liters)

In this case, the density of a copper that weighs 25 g is given as 9g/mL. Thus, the volume of the copper can be deduced.

volume = mass/density = 25/9 = 2.78 L

The volume of the copper is 2.78 L.

According to Archimedes's principle, a solid will always displace its own volume when dropped into a liquid.

Therefore, if the copper is placed in a 100 mL graduated cylinder, the amount of water needed to fill up the cylinder to the 100 mL mark would be:

              100 - 2.78 = 97.22 mL
