There is 100 mL of water in the graduated cylinder and the mass of the rock is 50 g. What

is the density of the rock?

Answer: 0.5 g/ml

Explanation:

The density of a substance is obtained by dividing its mass by the volume of water when it is placed in a vessel. Hence, its unit is gram per millilitre (g/ml)

Recall that volume of water in the graduated cylinder = 100 milliliters

Mass of rock = 50 grams

Density = Mass of rock ➗ volume of water

= 50 grams ➗ 100 milliliters

= 0.5 grams per millilitre

Thus, the density of the 50 grams rock in 100 milliliters of water is 0.5 g/ml
