Question

Sodium metal is immersed into graduated cylinder that holds exactly 32.5 ml. The sodium metal used to fill the cylinder weighs 405.5 grams. Calculate the density of sodium based on the given data.

Answer 1

when you say it was immersed, that implies there was some other liquid in the cylinder.

If all you mean is that the sodium exactly filled the cylinder, then the density is obviously

405.5g/32.5ml = 405.5/32.5 g/ml
