Question

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

Answer 1

Lead

Step-by-step 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.
