Volume and Density of Sandstone Chips

What is the initial volume of the liquid before adding sandstone chips?

Initial volume: 55ml

What is the final volume of the liquid after adding sandstone chips?

Final volume: 65ml

What is the mass of the sandstone chips?

Mass of sandstone chips: 2 grams

What is the density of the sandstone chips?

Answer:

Volume = 10ml

Density = 1/5 g/ml or 0.20g/ml

The sandstone chips were added to a liquid, causing the volume to increase from 55ml to 65ml. By subtracting the initial volume from the final volume, we find that the volume of the sandstone chips is 10ml.

To calculate the density of the sandstone chips, we use the formula density = mass/volume. In this case, the mass of the sandstone chips is 2 grams and the volume is 10ml.

Dividing the mass by the volume, we get:

Density = 2g / 10ml = 1/5 g/ml or 0.20g/ml

Therefore, the density of the sandstone chips is 1/5 g/ml or 0.20g/ml, indicating that the chips are relatively dense compared to the liquid they were added to.
