Density of a substance is mass per unit volume. The density of the unknown metal is 11.38 g per cm cubed and the metal is Lead.
Given information-
The mass of the sample of a unknown metal is 35.4 g.
The volume of the sample of a unknown metal is 3.11 cm cube.
The density of the metal has to find out.
Density of a substance is mass per unit volume. It can be given as,
[tex]\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}[/tex]
Here [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the substance and [tex]V[/tex] is the volume of the substance.
Put the values in the above formula to find out the density of the given metal,
[tex]\rho=\dfrac{35.4}{3.11}[/tex]
[tex]\rho=11.38[/tex]
Thus the density of the metal is 11.38 g per cm cubed.
The Lead element has the density of 11.3 g per cm cubed which is almost equal to the given metal.
Hence the density of the unknown metal is 11.38 g per cm cubed and the metal is Lead.
