An irregularly shaped metal is placed in 75.0 mL of water in a 100 mL graduated cylinder. The water level rises to 87.5 mL. If the mass of the metal is 34.712 g, calculate its density. The accepted value for the density of certain metal is 7.87 g/cm³. Calculate the percent error in a laboratory experiment that yields a value of 8.15 g/cm³.
