An empty graduated cylinder has a mass of 68.00g.50.0mL of water is added to the cylinder and its mass increases to 109.5g.What is the density of the liquid?
A)41.5g
B)1.20mL/g
C)0.830g/mL
D)1.36g/mL

Question

First, we need to calculate the mass of water added to the cylinder:
mass of water = (mass of cylinder + water) - (mass of empty cylinder)
mass of water = 109.5g - 68.00g
mass of water = 41.5g

Next, we can use the density formula:
density = mass/volume

Since we know the mass of the water added and the volume of the cylinder, we can calculate the density:
density = 41.5g / 50.0mL
density = 0.83g/mL

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

An Empty Graduated Cylinder Has a Mass of 68
