A pycnometer is a glass apparatus used for accurately determining the density of a liquid. When dry and empty, a certain pycnometer had a mass of 27.234 g. When filled with distilled water at 25.0°C, it weighed 36.491 g. When filled with chloroform (a liquid once used as an anesthetic before its toxic properties were known), the apparatus weighed 40.946 g. At 25.0°C, the density of water is 0.99704 g/mL (a) What is the volume of the pycnometer? i ! mL (b) What is the density of chloroform? ! g/mL

A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, he tried the following experiment. First he measured the mass of the metal to be 177.5 grams. Then he dropped the metal iñto a measuring cup and found that it displaced 15.5 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal. Density = g/mL Use the table below to decide the identity of the metal. This metal is most likely Densities of Some Common Substances Substance Density (g/mL) Water 1.00 Aluminum 2.72 Chromium 7.25 Nickel 8.91 Copper 8.94 Silver 10.50 Lead 11.34 Mercury 13.60
