Answer:
3.5g/ml
Explanation:
density=mass/volume
the mass of the mineral we have been given to be 35g
and it's volume is found by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume which is 35ml-25ml=10ml
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3.5 \ g/mL}}[/tex]
Explanation:
The density of an object is the mass per unit volume, so the formula is:
[tex]\rho= \frac {m}{v}[/tex]
We know the mass of the mineral sample is 35 grams.
We have to calculate the volume. The volume was found using water displacement. An amount of water was put in a graduated cylinder, then the object was dropped in. The volume is the difference between the final water level and the initial water level.
Now we know the mass and volume of the mineral sample.
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]\rho= \frac{35 \ g}{10 \ mL}[/tex]
Divide.
[tex]\rho = 3.5 \ g/mL[/tex]
The density of the mineral sample is 3.5 grams per milliliter.
