An unknown metal has a volume of 5.25 mL and a density 2.71 g/mL. What is
the weight of the metal in grams?
mass = volume x density
To find the weight of the metal in grams, we can use the formula:
weight = volume x density
First, we need to calculate the weight using the given values of volume and density.
Given:
Volume = 5.25 mL
Density = 2.71 g/mL
Using the formula, substitute the values:
weight = 5.25 mL x 2.71 g/mL
Now, we can multiply the volume and density:
weight = 14.2175 g
Therefore, the weight of the metal is approximately 14.22 grams.
