Answer:

The answer is 0.6923 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula


Density = (mass)/(volume)

Making volume the subject we have


volume = (mass)/(Density)

From the question

Density = 728 g/mL

mass of nickel = 5.040 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

That's


volume = (5.040)/(728) \\ = 0.692307

We have the final answer as

Volume of nickel = 0.6923 mL

Hope this helps you
