Explanation:

<h2>(a).</h2>

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of metal = 14 g

volume = 2.98 mL = 2.98 cm³

It's density is

density =  \frac{14}{2.98}  \\  = 4.69798657...

We have the answer as

4.70 g/cm³

<h2>(b).</h2>

The metal is not copper since it's density is less than that of copper.

Hope this helps you

26 Which process occurs in an operating voltaic cell?(1) Electrical energy is converted to chemical energy.
tia_tia [17]

Answer is: (2) Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.

An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).
