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. She measured the mass of the metal to be 323.0 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 16.5 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal. Density= g/mL

You just measured a metal cylinder and obtained the following information: mass = 3.543 g diameter = 0.53 cm height = 4.4 cm Determine the volume (V) and density of the cylinder. (V=nr2 h, where r = radius, h = height, π = 3.14) S A Volume of the cylinder = 0.87 cm3; density of the cylinder = 3.7 g/cm3 B Volume of the cylinder = 0.97 cm3; density of the cylinder = 2.7 g/cm3 C None of the above have both the volume and density correctly reported E Volume of the cylinder = 0.97 cm3; density of the cylinder = 3.7 g/cm3 Volume of the cylinder = 0.87 cm3; density of the cylinder = 2.7 g/cm3
A student was given an unknown metal. The student determined that the mass of the metal was 30.2 g. The student placed the metal in a graduated cylinder filled with 20.0 mL of water. The metal increased the volume of water to 22.9 mL. Calculate the density of the metal and determine the identity of the metal using the table below.
An unknown object is placed on a balance, which then reads 6.122 g. Its volume is measured to be 3.39 cm³. Find the density of this object by dividing mass by volume. Express your answer in grams per cubic centimeter to the appropriate number of significant figures. g/cm³
Suppose you are trying to find the volume of a box based on the given measurements for the length, width, and height of the box, where the height was measured in two parts. length, l = 2.20 in width, w = 3.71 in height, h = 10.4 in + 1 in Calculate the height, ℎ, of the box, first keeping all digits, then rounding to the proper number of significant figures. unrounded h = ____in rounded h =____ in Calculate the volume (V) of the box using V =l x w x h. Round to the proper number of significant figures. v=_____in3
When converting between metric units, use the prefixes to help you determine the magnitude of a value. The prefix kk indicates kilo, 1000. Therefore 1000 gg = 1 kgkg. A 25.0 kgkg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 3180 cm3cm3 . What is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3g/cm3?

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.)
