Question

the density of iron is 7.86 g/cm3. you are given an unknown metal that has a mass of 214.6 g. what would the volume of the sample be if it were iron?

Answer 1

volume = density * mass

7.86 * 214.6

= 1686.756

Answer 2

`27.3cm^(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The density can be expressed as:

`density=(mass)/(Volume)`

Solving for Volume:

`Volume=(mass)/(density)`

Assuming that the unknown metal is iron, and replacing values:

`Volume=(214.6g)/(7.86(g)/(cm^(3)))`

`Volume=27.3cm^(3)`
