A 25.00-g sample of a solid is placed in a graduated cylinder, and then the cylinder is filled to the 50.0-mL mark with benzene. The mass of benzene and solid together is 59.16 g. Assuming that the solid is insoluble in benzene and that the density of benzene is 0.880, calculate the density of the solid.
