- 3 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 183.3 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 16.0 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 8.91 8.94 10.50 11.34 13.60 19.28 19.38 Nickel Copper Silver Lead Mercury Gold Tungsten Previous Next>arrow_forwardThis year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk?

Using a top loading balance to determine the mass and the water displacement method (Study Question 41) to determine the volume of a variety of pieces of lead, you calculate the following densities: 11.6 g/cm3, 11.8 g/cm3, 11.5 g/cm3, and 12.0 g/cm3. You consult a reference book and find that the accepted value for the density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3.
