Question

You have a sample of each of the following five metals, with the mass and density

Answer 1

Answer:

E) Silver, mass = 420 g, d = 10.5 g/cm.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the density is defined by:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

Given the mass and density, we compute the volume via:

$V=\rho *m$

Thus, for each vase we have:

A) $V=135g*2.7g/cm^3=364.5cm^3$

B) $V=305g*8.92g/cm^3=2720.6cm^3$

C) $V=240g*7.86g/cm^3=1886.4cm^3$

D) $V=75g*1.74g/cm^3=130.5cm^3$

E) $V=420g*10.5g/cm^3=4410cm^3$

In such a way, the largest volume corresponds to E) Silver, mass = 420 g, d = 10.5 g/cm.

Best regards.
