8.5 g of metal is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water. the level of water increases from 40.0 ml to 44.5 ml. the density of the metal is g/ml. (use the correct number of significant figures in your answer)

Density of metal = 1.89 g/mL

Explanation:

Volume of the metal = Volume of water and metal system - Volume of water

Volume of water and metal system = 44.5 mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Volume of the metal = 44.5 mL - 40.0 mL = 4.5 mL

Given, mass = 8.5 g

The expression for density is:

Density of metal = 1.89 g/mL
