Some metal chips with a total volume of 3.29 cm3 are placed on a piece of paper and weighed. The combined mass is found to be 18.43 g, and the paper itself weighs 1.2140 g. Calculate the density of the metal to the proper number of significant figures.

Ageochemist examines a piece of metal that he found in the soil. he performs tests to identify the metal from its density, electrical conductivity, and melting point. which statement best describes his investigation? a. he is determining physical properties that are sufficient to identify the metal.b. he is determining chemical properties that are sufficient to identify the metal.c. he is determining physical properties that are insufficient to identify the metal.d. he is determining chemical properties that are insufficient to identify the metal.
