Identifying a substance based on density lab:

Metal Density (g/mL)
Cu 8.92
Al 2.702
Pb 11.3437
Zn 7.14
Fe 8.39
Sn 7.28

You are given a metal block with a mass of 62.44g and a mass of 7cm3. What is the identity of your block? How did you know?

The density ρ of metal block is 8.92g/cm³

So from the given density table this corresponds to copper which has density of 8.92(g/mL)

Explanation:

Oh yeah, I got the correct unit update,

Now this problem bothers on the density of substances

We know that the density of a substance is expressed as

Density ρ= mass/ volume

Given data

Mass of metal block m= 62.44g

Volume of metal block v= 7 cm³

Hence we can find the density of the metal block by plugging in our data into the expression for density

ρ of metal block = 62.44/7

ρ of metal block = 8.92g/cm³

The block is a copper block

not too sure thinking all accelerations are pointed down
