What your tutor wants here is to find out is if, from the information given, you can determine the nature of the metal.
Which you should be able to do. You should first determine the specific gravity, the weight in grams per cubic centimetre.
And then explore the metals you know of to find one with similar density.
158 / 20 = 7.9 g/cc. (Or since there are 1000 000 cc in a m3, multiply by 1 000 000.) which gives us 7.9000 tonnes/cubic metre.
In a list of density of the elements, iron comes in at 7.87 tonnes per m3.
Which for the present purposes looks a good candidate.

∙ 14y agoThe volume is the ratio between the mass and density. You need the density of the material to calculate the volume.

What is density of the unknown metal that has of mass 158g and volume of 20mL?
Density is found by dividing Mass by volume where mass is in grams and volume is in milliliters. 20 liters=20,000 ml so the calculation becomes 158/20,000 which yiels a result of .0079
What is the density of liquid with a mass of 17 4g and a volume of 20mL?
It is 0.87 g/mL.
If something has a mass of 4000grams and a volume of 20ml what is the density?
It has a density of 200 g/mL
What is the density of a liquid with a mass of 17.4g and a volume of 20mL?
Density is Mass divided by Volume, [ ratio of mass to Volume, m/V ],so this object's density is 75/17= 4.4 g/mL
How can you find displacement of a metal in 50 mL of water when given the mass?
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.

What is the mass of 40 grams and volume of 20mL?
The mass of 40 grams is 40 grams and the volume of 20mL is, wait for it, ... 20 mL!
What is the density of liquid with a mass of 17 4g and a volume of 20mL?
It is 0.87 g/mL.
If something has a mass of 4000grams and a volume of 20ml what is the density?
It has a density of 200 g/mL
What is the mass of 20ml of salt?
This well known formula should lead you on your path: Density (grams/ml) = mass/volume
What metal has a mass of 35.4 and a volume of 3.11?
A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 35.4g and a volume of 3.11cm^3. The metal is Lead.
Is metal are matter?
Anything that has mass and volume is matter. Metals have mass and volume, therefore they are matter.
Molar mass of 158g of ice?
The molar mass of water (H2O) is 18. Ice is water in it's solid state.
What is the density of a piece of metal that has a volume of 10cm3 and a mass of 500g?
Volume = mass/volume = 500g/10cm3 = 50g/cm3
What experimental method can determine the density of metal?
Density is the mass of the object divided by its volume. By this principle, to determine the density of a metal, place the metal onto a scale to measure its mass. After this, place the metal into a beaker of water and measure the volume change in the beaker. Divide the mass by the volume and you get the density.
How do you determine the mass of a magnesium metal strip without using a scale?
By a measurement of the mass and volume because: Mass=Volume/Density.
What is the density of a liquid with a mass of 17.4g and a volume of 20mL?
Density is Mass divided by Volume, [ ratio of mass to Volume, m/V ],so this object's density is 75/17= 4.4 g/mL
