To find the density of the stone, we can use the formula for density:
\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \]
-
Mass of the stone (m): 1.75 g
-
Volume of the stone (V):
- Initial volume of water = 50 cm³
- Final volume of water after placing the stone = 52.5 cm³
- Volume of the stone = Final volume - Initial volume = \(52.5 , \text{cm}^3 - 50 , \text{cm}^3 = 2.5 , \text{cm}^3\)
-
Calculate the density: \[ \text{Density} = \frac{1.75 , \text{g}}{2.5 , \text{cm}^3} = 0.7 , \text{g/cm}^3 \]
Therefore, the density of the stone is 0.7 g/cm³.
