A wet metal sample can have water molecules attached to its surface, which can affect its mass and volume measurements. Removing water ensures accurate data and prevents errors in calculations.
Place the piece of metal in 50mL of water and subtract the 50mL from the new volume of water. The difference will be the volume of the metal in mL and cm3. Then find the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the metal. The water must completely cover the metal in order for the displacement method of determining the volume to work.
The increase in volume of the water when the cylinder is added is equal to the volume of the cylinder. So, the volume of the cylinder is 21.4 mL - 15 mL = 6.4 mL. Since the metal cylinder is immersed in water, the volume of the metal cylinder is 6.4 mL.
The metal block will displace a volume of water equal to its own volume. By measuring the volume of water displaced, you can then determine the mass of the metal block - as long as you know the density of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter).
This depends on: the volume of the cube, the density of the metal, the atomic weight of the metal.
one method is to digest the metal using an acid and then use atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine which metal and how much of that metal is present in the solution. You can then work backwards to determine how much of a particular metal was in your sample (you need to know how much metal was used to make the solution).
A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 35.4g and a volume of 3.11cm^3. The metal is Lead.
Density is defined as mass/volume. The mass of the sample is 37.51 g. The volume of the sample is that volume of water that is displaced, i.e. 57.5 - 50.0 ml = 7.5 ml. Density = 37.51 g/7.5 ml = 5.0 g/ml. This is reported to 2 sig figs based on the subtracted value of 5.0
Air bubbles would make the volume you read in the measuring cylinder increase from the actual volume of theliquid. so when you add in the metal, there would be an increase in the volume of the metal than it really is. the mass of the metal cannot be affected by air bubble because this is the amount of matter in the metal. This increase in volume causes the density of the metal to reduce from its original value. since mass is constant, density is inversely proportional to volume. As volume increases, density decreases.hope that was helpful.
Based on the formula Desnity= Mass/Volume. The answer would be 13.5 g/cm3
The density of what? Any metal, liquid, etc. will have the same density since density depends on mass and volume of the sample (not volume of the universe).
The 500g sample of zinc metal is more dense because density is a property of a material and does not depend on the amount of the substance. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so for the same material, the one with higher mass will be more dense.
Mass divided by volume, same as it is for anything else. The density of metals ranges from around 500 kg/cubic meter up to around 22000 kg/cubic meter, so if you were hoping for a value ... somewhere in that range, which is a pretty wide range, depending on which specific metal you're talking about.
after 5.63 gm sample of wood metal was added in a 10ml graduated cylinder the new water level is 8.7ml "http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Was_the_water_in_a_cylinder_before_the_sample_was_added" after 5.63 gm sample of wood metal was added in a 10ml graduated cylinder the new water level is 8.7ml "http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Was_the_water_in_a_cylinder_before_the_sample_was_added"
The density of the metal in a crushed can remains the same as the density of the metal before the can was crushed. While the volume of the can decreases when it is crushed, the mass of the metal remains constant. Therefore, the density, which is mass divided by volume, remains unchanged.
The reading on the graduated scale is taken before and after the metal is lowered into the cylinder . The second reading is subtracted from the first. This gives the volume of the metal in cubic centimetres.
The mass of the sample is 400 kg = 400,000 grams.The volume is (20 x 50 x 80) = 80,000 cm3The density is (mass / volume) = (400,000 / 80,000) = 5 gm/cm3
No, the volume of a metal increases as it is heated. It expands.
