Sample Problem 1.3
Determining the Volume of a Solid by Displacement of Water
PLAN:
The volume of galena is equal to the change in the water volume before and after submerging the solid.
volume (mL) before and after addition
volume (mL) of galena
volume (cm3) of galena
volume (L) of galena
SOLUTION:
(24.5 - 19.9)mL = volume of galena
4.6 mL x
= 4.6 cm3
4.6 mL x
= 4.6x10-3 L
