To find the density of the rock, follow these steps:
-
Measure the Volume of Water Displaced: First, you need to find out how much water the rock displaced when you put it in the graduated cylinder. The water level went from 50 mL to 70 mL, so the volume of the rock is 70 mL - 50 mL = 20 mL.
-
Know the Mass of the Rock: The mass of the rock is given as 100 grams.
-
Calculate the Density: Now, you can find the density using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume. In this case, it will be: Density = 100 grams/20 mL = 5 grams/mL.
So, the density of the rock is 5 grams per milliliter.
