A square-prism container with a base 5 cm by 5 cm is partially filled with water. You drop a clump of metal that weighs 525 g into the container, and the water level rises 2 cm. What is the density of the metal? Assuming the metal is pure, what is the metal?

Question

anonymous · Answer

density= mass/volume
you know the mass and can find the volume by finding the volume of water displaced by the clump
use the density and compare with a density chart to find out what kind of metal it is
