Iron has density 7.87 g/cm^3. if 52.4 g of iron is added to 75.0 ml of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume reading will the water level in the cylinder rise?

6.66 mL

Explanation:

The increase in the volume is due to the addition of the iron whose volume can be calculated as:

Using,

Density = Mass / Volume

Given that:

Density of Iron = 7.87 g/cm³

Mass of iron = 52.4 g

Thus, volume is:

Volume = Mass / Density = 52.4 / 7.87 cm³ = 6.66 cm³

Also, 1 cm³ = 1 mL

The rise in the volume = 6.66 mL
