The shattered glass case at the scene of a jewelry store robbery was determined to be made of potash borosilicate glass, which has a density of 2.162g/mL. A 4.034g glass fragment was recovered from a suspect's clothing. When the fragment was placed into a graduated cylinder filled with water, 1.63mL of the water was displaced. Calculate the density of the glass fragment.

Question

The shattered glass case at the scene of a jewelry store robbery was determined to be made of potash borosilicate glass, which has a density of 2.162g/mL. A 4.034g glass fragment was recovered from a suspect's clothing. When the fragment was placed into a graduated cylinder filled with water, 1.63mL of the water was displaced. Calculate the density of the glass fragment.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Density of glass fragment = mass of glass fragmentvolume of glass fragment 

                                        = 4.034 g1.63 mL

                                        =  2.47 g/mL
