Question

You are given a sample block of an unknown metal. the block displaces 3.24 ml of water and has a mass of 62.5429 g. what is the density of 7 the unknown metal? what is the metal

Answer 1

Density = mass / volume so density = 62.5429 / 3.24 = 19.3 g/ml. This is the density of gold.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

          Volume = 3.24 ml,      mass = 62.5429 g

As we know that density is the mass of object divided by the volume occupied by it.

Mathematically,     Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Therefore, calculate the density of given unknown metal as follows.

               Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

                             = $\frac{62.5429 g}{3.24 ml}$

                             = 19.30 g/ml

Hence, density of the given unknown metal is 19.30 g/ml.

Gold is the element which has a density of 19.30 g/ml.

Thus, we can conclude that given unknown metal has a density of 19.30 g/ml and name of this metal is gold.
