Use the density value to solve the following problems: a. A graduated cylinder contains 18.0 mL of water. What is the new water level after $35.6 \mathrm{g}$ of silver metal with a density of $10.5 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ is submerged in the water? b. A thermometer containing 8.3 g of mercury has broken. If mercury has a density of $13.6 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL},$ what volume spilled? c. A fish tank holds 35 gal of water. Using the density of $1.00 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ for water, determine the number of pounds $+$ water in the fish tank.

Key Concepts

Density

Density is a physical property defined as the ratio of mass to volume. It allows one to calculate the volume of a substance if its mass is known by rearranging the formula to volume = mass/density. This concept is fundamental in solving problems where the mass and density are given and the corresponding volume is required.

Volume Displacement

Volume displacement is the concept that when an object is submerged in a fluid, it displaces a volume of fluid equal to its own volume. This principle is used to determine the change in fluid level when an object is added to a container, making it crucial for solving problems involving submerged objects in liquids.

Unit Conversions

Unit conversions involve transforming measurements from one set of units to another, such as converting milliliters to liters or gallons to milliliters. This concept is essential when working with different measurement systems or when additional conversion steps are needed to express an answer in the desired units.

Mass-to-Weight Conversion

The mass-to-weight conversion concept involves translating mass, measured in units like grams, to weight, typically expressed in pounds or Newtons, by considering the gravitational force. This conversion is particularly important in contexts where the weight of an object or substance (such as water) is required in a unit different from its mass.
