The density of pure silver is 10.5g/mL. If 4287mg of pure silver pellets are added to a graduated cylinder containing 26.4mL of water, to what level will the water in the cylinder rise



Answer :

ANSWER: 26.81 mL

Convert mg of silver to grams of silver using unit conversion

4287mg silver * (1g/1000mg)=4.287g silver

Convert grams of silver to mL of silver using density

4.287g silver / 10.5g/mL = 0.408 mL silver

Add mL of silver to mL of water and that is the final water level in the cylinder

26.4 mL water + 0.408 mL silver = 26.808 mL
