Q11. Diamond has a density of 3.52 g/mL. What is the volume in cubic centimeters of a
diamond with a mass of 15.1 g?
Answer: 4.29 cm3

Q12. A nugget of gold with a mass of 521 g is added to 50.0 mL of water. The water level rises
to a volume of 77.0 mL. What is the density of the gold?

V= 77.0 mL – 50.0 mL = 27.0 mL


d = m/V = 521 g / 27.0 mL = 19.3 g/mL

Q13. Mercury has a specific gravity of 13.6. How many milliliters of mercury have a mass of
0.35 kg?
First, Convert 0.35 kg to g. 0.35kg x 1000g/1kg = 350 g

Specific gravity= density of the mercury / density of water

Specific gravity is given and density of the water is given, therefore, density of mercury =
specific gravity x density of water.

Density of mercury = 13.6 x 1.00 g/mL = 13.6 g/mL

D = m/V

V= m/D = 350 g/ 13.6 g/mL = 25.735 g/mL = 26 mL (the answer should be in 2 sig.)
