A sample of metal has a mass of 24.54 g, and a volume of 5.02 mL. What is the density of this metal? g/cm

4.88 g / cm³

Explanation:

Density of a substance is given by the mass of the substance divided by the volume of the substance.

Hence, d = m / V

V = volume

m = mass,

d = density,

From the question,

The mass of the metal = 24.54 g

The volume of the metal = 5.02 mL

Hence, by using the above formula, and putting the corresponding values, the density is calculated as -

d = m / V

d = 24.54 g / 5.02 mL

d = 4.88 g / mL

The unit 1mL = 1 cm³

Hence,

d = 4.88 g / cm³
