8) Consider two samples of palladium (Pd), an element used in automobile catalytic converters.
Sample A is a cylindrical bar with a mass of 97.36 g. The bar is 10.7 cm high and has a radius of
4.91 mm. Sample B is an irregular solid with a mass of 49.20 g. A graduated cylinder has 10.00 mL
of water. When sample B is added to the graduated cylinder, the volume of the water and the
solid is 14.09 mL.
