Blondie · Answer 1

Density of solid is 1.72 g/ml

Explanation:

Step-1: Finding mass of liquid

Mass of liquid = Total Mass - Mass of Solid

Mass of liquid = 59.68 g - 33.17 g

Mass of liquid = 26.51 g

Step-2: Finding volume of liquid

Density of liquid = Mass of Liquid/Volume of Liquid

Volume of Liquid = Mass of Liquid / Density of Liquid

Volume of liquid = (26.51 g) / (0.864 g/ml)

Volume of liquid = 30.68 ml = 30.68 cm^3

Step-3: Finding volume of Solid

Volume of Solid = Total Volume - Volume of Liquid

Volume of Solid = 50 cm^3 - 30.68 cm^3

Volume of Solid = 19.32 cm^3

Step-4: Finding Density of Solid

Density of Solid = Mass of Solid/Volume of Solid

Density of Solid = 33.17 g/19.32 cm^3

Density of Solid = 1.72 g/cm^3 = 1.72 g/ml
