Bill Jones thinks that he has discovered a silver mine. A 54.37 gram sample of shiny metal is added to a graduated cylinder containing water, and the water level rises from 35.7 mL to 52.4 mL. Calculate the density of the metal. Determine whether or not Bill has real silver.

    The density of metal is 1.52 g/mL

    The has not found silver metal.

    Explanation:

    Density:

    we know that density of an object can be measured by dividing its mass to its volume.

    Symbol:

    The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

    Units:

    SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

    Other units are given below,

    g/cm3, g/mL, kg/L

    Formula:

    D=m/v

    D = density

    m = mass

    V = volume

    Given dа ta:

    volume = 35.7 mL

    mass = 54.37 g

    density=?

    Now we will put the values in the formula,

    d=m/v

    d = 54.37 g / 35.7 mL

    d = 1.52 g/mL

    so the density of metal is 1.52 g/mL or 1.52 g/cm3 and it is not silver because from literature the density of silver is 10.49 g / cm3
