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.

Since 1965, dimes are composed of copper with 25% nickel on the outside. A Roosevelt Type dime (1946 to 1964), designed by John R Sinnockis, is composed of 90.0% silver and 10.0% copper. The composition changed when the dime cost more in silver than it was worth. A 1963 dime is weighed on ten different balances, and the mass is recorded.

1 of 3 The shattered glass case at the scene of a jewelry store robbery was determined to be made of potash borosilicate glass, which has a density of 2.16 g/mL. A 2.636 g glass fragment was recovered from a suspect's clothing. When the fragment placed into a graduated cylinder filled with water, 0.864 mL of the water was displaced. Calculate the density of the was glass fragment. g/mL d = Does the glass fragment that was found in the suspect's clothing link him to the crime scene? not enough information to determine O yes no

A student uses a 100.00 mL volumetric flask to determine the density of a sample of water. The mass of the dry empty flask is determined to be 80.354 g. The flask is filled to the line 5 times with the water sample and the mass of the flask and the water is determined each time giving the 5 masses below. measurement 1: 172.275 g measurement 2: 172.288 g measurement 3: 172.28 g measurement 4: 172.263 g measurement 5: 172.378 g Based on the data given above, what is the average density of the sample in g/mL based on those measurements? Enter your answer with 3 significant figures.
Bronze is an alloy made of copper (Cu) and tin (Sn). Calculate the mass of a bronze cylinder of radius 9.31 cm and length 36.28 cm. The composition of the bronze is 79.42 percent Cu and 20.58 percent. Sn and the densities of Cu and Sn are 8.94 g/cm3 and 7.31 g/cm3, respectively. What assumption should you make in this calculation? Enter your answer in scientific notation.
PART A: picture PART B: Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/mL Calculate the mass (in grams) of a piece of aluminum having a volume of 322 mL . Express your answer to three significant figures. PART C: Iron has a density of 7.86 g/cm3. Calculate the volume (in dL) of a piece of iron having a mass of 4.02 kg . Note that the density is provided in different units of volume and mass than the desired units of volume (dL) and the given units of mass (kg). You will need to express the density in kg/dL (1 cm3 = 1 mL) before calculating the volume for the piece of iron. Express your answer to three significant figures.

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.)
