How can you determine that a coin is not pure sliver if you know the mass and volume of the coin?

We can calculate the coin's density by using the formula:
density = mass / volume

Then, we will compare the experimental value from real density of silver, if it is equal then, the coin is pure, if it is not, then it is unpure

Hope this helps!
