Interpretation:
The mass of the lead (density
Concept introduction:
Density of a sample of matter or an object is equal to the mass of the sample divided by the volume of the sample.
Answer to Problem 105A
Mass of the lead is
Explanation of Solution
Mass of the mercury =
Density of the mercury =
The volume of the mercury can be calculated by dividing the mass by density.
Volume of the mercury = volume of the lead =
Now, the mass of the lead can be calculated by multiplying the volume with density.
Hence, the mass of lead is 12.5 g.
Thus, mass of the lead is
