- You are making banana bread and the recipe calls for 3/4 cup of vegetable oil and one egg yolk. You measure out your oil in a measuring cup and then just toss the egg yolk into the oil before mixing with the dry ingredients. The egg yolk has a mass of 9.9 grams and floats with 71 % of its volume under the surface of the oil. You also know that the density of the oil is Poil 0.95 cm³ What volume of oil is displaced by the egg yolk? cm3 What is the total volume of the egg yolk? cm³ What is the density of the egg yolk? g cm3 Imagine the egg yolk was floating in a salt-water solution instead (Pwater = 1.04 % .).
