If an object made of aluminum has a mass of 8.37g When it was placed in a graduated cylinder containing 20.0 ml of water the water level rose to 23.1 ml What is the density and specific gravity of?

Water level rise is an indicator of the volume of the object,
V = 23.1 - 20.0 = 3.1 mL
Density = Mass / Volume
= 8.37 / 3.1 = 2.7 g/mL (or 2700 kg/m^3)
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the material to the density of water at a given temperature.
Specific Gravity = (2.7 g/mL) / (1.0 g/mL)

What instrument will you use to find liquid volume?
A graduated cylinder, a volumetric flask, a pipette, any graduated or calibrated container that will safely hold the fluid, a flow meter, a set of scales can also be used if the specific gravity of the fluid is known.
What is the specific gravity for aluminum?
Aluminum has no specific gravity, at least by the current definition of gravity.
Does aluminum have a specific gravity?
Every substance has a specific gravity. Aluminum's is around 2.6 .
How do you find the volume of an irregular object by using the graduate cylinder?
Step 1) Fill the graduated cylinder with water to a specific volume (example: 50ml).Step 2) Drop the irregular shaped object into the graduated cylinder.Step 3) Measure the new level of the water in the graduated cylinder.Step 4) The difference in volumes in the graduated cylinder equals the volume of the irregular objectexample:original volume of water in cylinder = 50mlvolume of water in cylinder with irregular object = 55ml55ml - 50ml = volume of irregular object in the water = 5ml
A balance is used to measure mass true or false?
True, the most common method is to use a balance
What does graduated cylinder mean in science?
It means, in this context, divided into marked specific intervals.So a graduated cylinder is a cylinder divided into marked specific intervals.Read more: What_does_graduated_mean_in_graduated_cylinder
Function of graduated cylinder?
To measure the amount of liquid in a specific manner

What is the volume of the fluid in this graduated cylinder measured to the correct degree of precision?
You're going to have to be more specific.
Graduated cylinder function?
It's a tube used to measure exact amounts of liquid, usually for science.
Can you use a graduated cylinder to find the volume of keys?
Yes. Fill the cylinder with a specific amount of water and write that amount down. (Any amount, as long as the keys will fit in without the water overflowing, and there is enough to make a difference.) Then put the keys in. Write down the new volume displayed by the graduated cylinder. Subtract the first volume form the initial volume, (this is change in volume), and you will get the volume of the keys.

What is a graduated cylinder and how is it used?
A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware, cylindrical in shape and graduated, used to accurately measure out volumes of liquid reagents for use in reactions.Related Information:They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than beakers or Erlenmeyer flasks, although not as precise as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipette. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, or 100 ml, 500ml, and up to 2 liters. Measuring cylinders are sometimes used, if they can measure the quantity desired.Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by comparing the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) to the nearest graduation, at eye level.
What piece of laboratory equipment is best suited for accurately measuring the volume of liquid?
use a graduated cylinder with the lowest capacity (greater than 26ml) if extreme accuracy is needed, (as I suspect with the small amount stated) I might use a scale, measuring by weight instead of volume (dropper may be needed to add to weight needed).... but you must adjust weight according to specific gravity or the only accurate liquid measured by 25.3 grams weight would be WATER :P
Is Aluminum a fossil fuel?
No, aluminum is not a fossil fuel. It is a metal to which different alloys are added for specific applications.
