A sample of metal has a mass of 24.28g, and a volume of 5.53 mL. What is the density of this metal
density will be the mass divided by the volume or =24.28g/5.53ml
2.5 gl
To find the density of the metal, you need to divide the mass of the metal by its volume.
Given:
Mass of the metal = 24.28 g
Volume of the metal = 5.53 mL
Density = Mass / Volume
Substituting the given values:
Density = 24.28 g / 5.53 mL
Now, we need to convert mL to cubic centimeters (cm^3) because density is commonly measured in g/cm^3.
1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm^3.
Density = 24.28 g / 5.53 cm^3
Calculating the value:
Density = 4.39 g/cm^3
Therefore, the density of the metal is 4.39 g/cm^3.
To find the density of a substance, you need to divide its mass by its volume. In this case, the mass of the metal is 24.28 grams (g) and the volume is 5.53 milliliters (mL).
The formula for density is:
density = mass / volume
So, to find the density of the metal, you can use the given values:
density = 24.28 g / 5.53 mL
Now, divide the mass by the volume:
density = 4.39 g/mL (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the density of the metal is 4.39 grams per milliliter.
