Volume reading when density is given
The density of diamond is 3.51g/mL and the density of lead is 11.3g/mL. If equal masses of diamond and lead were transferred to equal volumes of water in seperate graduated cylinders, which graduated cylinder would have the highest volume reading? Explain your answer.

- This solution shows how to calculate the density of a metal by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. - A graduated cylinder weighs 46.3 g when empty and holds 35.1 ml water (d = 1.00 g/cm3). An unknown metal is submerged into the water and brings the total volume to 58.1 ml and the mass of the cylinder ...
- Density - A cylindrical bar of gold that is 1.5 in. high and 0.25 in. in diameter has a mass of 23.1987g, as determined on an analytical balance. An empty graduated cylinder is weighed on a triple beam balance ...
- Density Problem - Determination of density has many practical applications. Is a piece of jewelry pure gold or is it an alloy perhaps of gold and silver? Give that the densities of gold and silver at 25 degrees C are 1 ...
- Density - 1) A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density of less than that of the liquid. Given density of water as 1.0g/mL, will a block having a volume of 1.2*10^4 in^3 and ...
- Density - How would you modify the determination of density of a solid if the solid dissolved in water, as sugar does? Would your density measurments be more precise if you used a balance that weighed to more d ...
