Answer

$11.7\text{ mL}$.

Work Step by Step

To find the volume of the 5.25 g of pure silver pellets, you can use the formula: volume = mass / density The density of silver is given as 10.5 g/cm^3. So volume = 5.25 / 10.5 = 0.5 cm^3 The volume of the silver pellets will cause the water level in the graduated cylinder to rise by 0.5 cm^3: 11.2 mL + 0.5 mL = 11.7 mL So the water level will rise to 11.7 mL.
