Answer 3

If you know the mass and the volume of a metal or any other substance, you can calculate the density (this is a intensive property of the matter) and the value caracterize that particular matter.

Density it is the relationship between the mass and the volume

Density = mass/ volume

in your case

Density = 24.5 grams / 2.16 mL = ?????

then you can look in tables as the one that I posted for a metal with a value of density similar or close to the value of you calculate.
