Question
![**Problem 59:**
When a 32.7-g piece of chromium metal was placed into a graduated cylinder containing 25.0 mL of water, the water level rose to 29.6 mL. Calculate the density of the chromium.
**Explanation:**
To find the density of chromium, use the formula:
\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \]
1. **Mass of chromium:** 32.7 g
2. **Initial volume of water:** 25.0 mL
3. **Final volume after adding chromium:** 29.6 mL
4. **Volume of chromium:** \( 29.6 \, \text{mL} - 25.0 \, \text{mL} = 4.6 \, \text{mL} \)
Substitute these values into the density formula:
\[ \text{Density of chromium} = \frac{32.7 \, \text{g}}{4.6 \, \text{mL}} \]
Calculate to find the density.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/8cdf0a7e-0d5f-41e4-8efa-0da19b301cf7/2b139596-4986-41d3-8156-8d13c29c8a7d/zcekdml_thumbnail.jpeg)
