(a) 18.7(b) 322 7) (c) 0.92 (d) 1.09 of lead submerged in the water brings the total volume to 60.0cm2 and the mass of the cylinder and contents to 80.0g. What is the density of lead in g/cm2 (a) 1.00 8) An empty graduated cylinder weighs 40.0g and is filled with 40.0 cm2 of water. A piece (d) 4.00 (c) 3.00 (b) 2.00

Explanation / Answer

1) A) 4 & 3

here are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number:

1.Non-zero digits are always significant.

2.Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

3.A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.

2)volume=1.22X3.22X0.83=3.26057=3.2606

3)5 because the denominator has 5 digit.

4)b)

5)a) as the density has inversely poportional to volume.greater density lower volume.

6)density=m/V=80/100=0.8g/cc<1,so it floats.

7)mass=densityXvolume=4.51X4.153=322

8)weight and volume of empty cylinder is 40g and 40 cc.

mass of lead=(80-40)=40g

volume of the lead=(60-40)=20cc

density=40/20=2g/cc
