If the water is at standard temperature and pressure (25 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere), the water has density of 1 kilogram per liter. When submerged, the metal displaces its own volume of water. Therefore, the volume of the metal is 1 liter, and the density of the metal is 6 kg/liter.

What metal has a density of about 9.5 grams per cubic cm?

As far as I am aware, there is no elemental metal with a density of 9.5 g per cm3. Thulium (9.32) is followed by Bismuth (9.75). But I presume that you can alloy one or metals with density lower than 9.5 and one or more with higher density.


A metal sphere is found to have the density of 5.2 gcm3 at 25 degrees C and a density of 5.1 gcm3 at 50 degrees C?

Yes. And the question is ... The sphere is certainly not made of a common metal. It could be Europium or an alloy or common elements.


If an object is cut in half is the density of each half equal?

Yes, the density of an object has no relation the number of pieces that the object is divided into, nor to the size of the obect. For example: The density of 1 pound of steel is exactly the same as the density of 1 ton of identical steel, and the density of 1 mL of water is exactly the same as the density of one Liter of water. That is the textbook answer, in real life most cutting techniques disturb the boundary of the cut line. So if you want a real to life answer then the density is only changed at the cut line where temperature and pressure will effect the structure of the metal being cut. Textbook answer is density remains unchanged throughout the whole of the material no matter how many times you cut it. think of density as "how hard something is packed together at the molecular level". This is a ok way to look at density. Cheers!

How will you determine if something will float in water?

If the object, when submerged in water, displaces a volume of water whose mass is greater than its own, then it will float. The density of the material from which it is made is not the key as can be seen from the fact that ships made of metal will float.


What is the the density of metal?

It depends on the metal. Lithium has lower density than water: 0.534 kg per liter. Copper is 8.94 kg per liter. Tungsten, which is now used as sinkers for fishing is 19.25 kg per liter. Osmium is the density champion at 22.59 kg per liter.

Do metals generally have a high density?

Usually yes; but depending on the metal, the density can be anywhere from less than one (kg/liter, i.e., the density of water), to about 20.


The density of titanium metal is 4.51g per cm cubed at 25 C what mass of titanium displaces 65.8 mL of water at 25 C?

If the density of titanium metal is 4.51 g per cm cubed at 25 degrees C, the mass of titanium that displaces 65.8 ml of water at 25 degrees C would be 29.7 g.


Why does a ship built from heavy metal float on water while metal actually sink in water?

An object will sink in water if it has a greater density than the water. This refers to the object's TOTAL or AVERAGE density, not necessarily the density of individual parts. Specifically, in the case of a ship, it includes the air that is trapped inside.

How can you tell if an item is real copper?

Compare the density with coppers known density (8.94g/mL) by weighing the mystery metal's mass and dividing by it's volume, which can be determined by measuring how much water the metal displaces when submerged. (Additionally, by heating a portion of it briefly in the presence of oxygen a dark blackish-brown color of copper oxide should become visible. Heating it with a direct flame from a small torch should produce a green flame quite easily as well.) All of these tests will allow one to determine if an item is "REAL" copper. They will not assure one that the copper is "PURE" copper (even the density test can be fooled by a witty seasoned metallurgist)
