Question

A certain material has a mass of 565 g while occupying 50 cm3 of space. What is this material?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lead

Explanation:

To get the density of the material, the formula would be:

mass divided by volume which is given by $d = \frac { m } { v }$.

Here in this problem, we are given a mass of $565 g$ which occupies a volume of $50 cm^3$.

So plugging the data in the above formula to find the density:

Density = $\frac { 565 } { 50 } = 11.3$

From the table, we can see that the material is Lead which has a density of 11.3c/cm^3.
