Step 1

We know that the initial volume of water in the graduated cylinder is $12.7 \mathrm{~mL}$ and the final volume after adding the metal pellets is $21.6 \mathrm{~mL}$. The difference between these two volumes is the volume of the metal. So, we calculate the volume Show more…

Key Concepts

Density

Density is a physical property defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume. It is used to characterize materials, compare substances, and predict behaviors such as buoyancy in fluids.

Volume Displacement

The volume displacement method allows for the measurement of an irregular object's volume by submerging it in a liquid and measuring the increase in the liquid level. This technique is based on the principle that the volume of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the submerged object.

Measurement Techniques

Accurate measurement of physical quantities is fundamental in experimental science. In density calculations, mass is typically measured with a balance and volume with instruments like a graduated cylinder.
