How can you determine pure silver if you know its volume and mass?

The density of pure silver is 10.5 grams per cubic centimeter. If you have the exact volume of the coin in CCs, you can calculate the weight that it would be were it pure silver. If it differs substantially from the calculated value, it is an alloy.

∙ 12y agoSilver has a finite mass. A certain amount of silver has a certain mass (weight). If the coin weighs more or less than the known volume of silver should weigh, the coin contains other metals.

What are you things do you need to know about a substance to determine its density?
it's mass, and it's volume.
How do mass and volume determine density?
The definition of density is mass divided by volume.
What is the formula to determine volume using mass?
Knowing the mass doesn't tell you the volume. They're related by the quantity called the "density" of a sample. So if, along with the mass, you also know the density, then the volume is (mass) divided by (density). But if you only know the mass, there's no way to calculate the volume. Equal masses of air and water have very different volumes.
Determine density with a mass of 50kg and a volume of 12 square feet?
12 square feet is not a volume, but an area.To calculate the density, divide mass by volume. If you know the volume in cubic feet, you should convert to liters first.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Mass will determine how much water is displaced by something that floats. Volume will determine how much water is displaced by something that does not (that sinks).
How can you determine that a coin is not pure silver if you know the mass and the volume of the coin?
The idea is to divice the mass by the volume, to get the density. Then compare to the density of silver.The idea is to divice the mass by the volume, to get the density.

How can you determine that a is not pure silver if you know the mass and volume of the coin?
Divide the mass by the volume to calculate its density. If its density isn't the same as an equal amount of pure silver, the coin has some other metal in it.The density test can be fooled if the coin was adulterated with other metals that average out to the same density as silver, however.

What determines the mass of objects that have equal volume?
Density. This is quantified as a mass over a volume, so if you know the volume, the density will allow you to determine the mass of an object. Density equals mass divided by volume so mass is equal to density multiplied by volume.
What is the mass and volume of Silver and its Density?
The density of silver is 10490 kg/m3. You need to have a piece of silver for it to have a mass or volume.
Is it harder to determine mass or volume?
