Given the data from the question, the identity of the unknown metal having a of mass 133 g is Cobalt

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>

Mass = 133 g
Volume of water = 25 mL
Volume of water + metal = 40 mL
Vol of metal = 40 – 25 = 15 mL

Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 133 / 15

Density = 8.86 g/mL

Comparing the density of the unknown metal (i.e 8.86 g/mL) with those given in the chart in the question above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is Cobalt
