Answer:

11.3 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density of lead

= Mass / Volume

= (56.5 g) / (5 cm³)

= 11.3 g/cm³

Hey there!

The formula for density is d = m/v.

The mass of the sample is 56.5 g, and the volume of the sample is 5 cm³.

So, to plug these values into the equation, we have:


d=(56.5)/(5)

Simplified, this is:

d = 11.3

The unit for this is g/cm³, or grams per cubic centimeter.

So, the density of lead is 11.3 g/cm³.

Hope this helps!
