Question

Joe Smith, the chemical engineer from Acme Chemical Company, wanted to determine the final volume in a large glass cylinder is he dropped a 12.52 pound ingot of lead whose density was 112.3 g/cm^3 into the cylinder which already contained 2500. mL of water.  What is the final volume of water in the cylinder.

Steve · Answer

volume of lead is

12.52lb * 453.59g/lb * 1cm^3/112.3g = ? cm^3

Add that to the 2500 cm^3 already there.

Technically, the final volume of water is still 2500mL, but I think they wanted to know the total volume of contents.
