Question

A metal has a mass of 53.7 grams and displaces 6.2 ml of water. Determine the density of the metal.

Answer 1

8.66129032258 g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = Mass/Volume

Density= 53.7/6.2

Density=8.66129032258

Answer 2

Answer: The density of metal is 8.7 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

`\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}`

We are given:

Mass of metal = 53.7 g

Volume of metal = 6.2 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\text{Density of metal}=(53.7g)/(6.2mL)\\\\\text{Density of metal}=8.7g/mL`

Hence, the density of metal is 8.7 g/mL
