Question

A metal with mass of 15.00g occupies a volume of 1.32 cm cubed. Calculate the density of the metal. Please help!!

Answer 1

Given the mass of metal = 15.00 g

Volume of the metal = 1.32
`cm^(3)`

Density of a metal is mass per unit volume of that metal. Density of a metal is constant at any given temperature.

Density can be calculated using the formula:

Density =
`(Mass)/(Volume)`

=
`(15.00g)/(1.32cm^(3))=11.4 (g)/(cm^(3)  )`

Therefore, density of the given metal is 11.4 g/cm3
