Question

Chemist Dean Dalton is given a clump of metal and is told that it is sodium. He finds that the metal weighs 145.5 g. He places it into a nonreactive liquid in a square prism whose base measures 10 cm on each edge. If the metal is indeed sodium, how high should the liquid level rise?

Answer 1

For this you need to know the density of sodium, which is 0.97 gram per centimeter cubed at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius
