A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she used the ideas just developed in class about density. First she measured the mass of the metal to be 433.5 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 20.0 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal. Density = g/mL Use the table below to decide the identity of the metal.

A particular flask has a mass of 17.4916 g when empty. When filled with ordinary water at 20.0°C (density = 0.9982 g/mL), the mass of the flask is now 43.9616 g. The density of so-called "heavy water" at 20.0°C is 1.1053 g/mL. What will the mass of the flask be when filled with heavy water at 20.0°C?

In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 8×103 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is its density in grams per cubic centimeter? The mass of the sun is 2.0×1030kg and the radius of the moon is 2.16×103mi. (Volume of a sphere =43πr3.)
