Best Answer

Density is a weight per unit volume calculation.

There could be different alloys or casting methods with subtle differences in density, or temperature variations in expansion and density. However:

Every cubic centimeter of lead weighs 11.34 grams.

Every cubic centimeter of iron weighs 7.86 grams.

Thus, the density of lead (11.34 g/cc) is greater than iron (7.86 g/cc).

This is independent of the actual weight and volume of the sample.
