Cassiterite (a tin ore) weighing 142.8 grams was placed in a beaker whose volume was 115 ml. The beaker with the ore was then filled with acetic acid and weighed. The ore and acid weighed 230.98 grams. Determine the density of the cassiterite in grams per cubic centimeter. The density of acetic acid is 1.0056 grams/ml at room temperature.

a. 4.86 g/cm^3
b. 5.07 g/cm^3
c. 5.23 g/cm^3
d. 5.78 g/cm^3
e. 5.01 g/cm^3.
