Question 19

A technician checks the density of a liquid used in a storage tank. The liquid is added to the same measuring cylinder between the two measurements.

Volume of liquid in cm3\text{cm}^{3}cm3Mass of measuring cylinder and liquid in g\text{g}g
20.091.6
100.0183.6
a.

Calculate the density of the liquid in g/cm3\text{g/cm}^{3}g/cm3.

Use both measurements from the table.

c.

A sealed plastic marker has a mass of 54.0 g and a volume of 50.0 cm3. It is released below the surface of the liquid. The technician claims that it will remain submerged.

Evaluate this claim.
