Question

A metal has a mass of 53.7 grams and displaces 6.2 ml of water. Determine the density of the metal.

Answer 1

Answer: The density of metal is 8.7 g/mL

Explanation:

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Mass of metal = 53.7 g

Volume of metal = 6.2 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Density of metal}=\frac{53.7g}{6.2mL}\\\\\text{Density of metal}=8.7g/mL$

Hence, the density of metal is 8.7 g/mL

Answer 2

Answer:

8.66129032258 g/ml

Explanation:

Density = Mass/Volume

Density= 53.7/6.2

Density=8.66129032258
