Winters · Answer 1

Titanium metal.

Explanation:

Mass of ring = 9.45 g

Initial Volume = 25.3 mL

Final Volume = 27.4 mL

Volume of ring = 27.4 - 25.3 = 2.1mL

Density = Mass / Volume

Density = 9.45 / 2.1

Density = 4.5g/ml

Since, the ring is a single metal, we look for the metal that has a density of 4.5g/ml. This metal is the Titanium metal.
