You have a metal with mass 15.32 g and a volumetric flask with water with mass 115.16 g. The mass of the volumetric flask with water and the metal is now 128.77 g. The empty volumetric flask had a mass of 65.03 g. What is the mass of the water displaced by the metal in grams? Report your answer to two decimal places and do not include units in your answer.

The mass of the water displaced by the metal is 48.42 g.

Let's consider:

  • mass of the metal (mM): 15.32 g
  • mass of the water (mW): ?
  • mass of the empty volumetric flask (mF): 65.03 g

The mass of the volumetric flask with water and the metal is 128.77 g, that is:

[tex]mM + mW + mF = 128.77 g\\mW = 128.77 g - mM - mF\\mW = 128.77 g - 15.32 g - 65.03 g = 48.42 g[/tex]

The mass of the water displaced by the metal is 48.42 g.
