Question

A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, he used the ideas just developed in class about density First he measured the mass of the metal to be 191.3 grams. Then he dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 16.7 mL of water Calculate the density of the metal. Density - mL Use the table below to decide the identity of the metal. This metal is most likely Densities of Some Common Substances 1.00 Nickel 8.91 Copper8.94 10.50 Silver Mercury 13.60 Tungsten 19.3 Platinum 21.46

Explanation / Answer

To calculate density mass 191.3 divided by volume 16.7

Which makes density equals 11.45

And this density equals to lead density.
