Answer:
5.9 g/cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
Mass of metal = 43.98 g
Initial level of water = 13.8 mL
Final level of water = 21.3 mL
Calculations:
The picture below illustrates what's happening in this experiment.
The water level was originally at 13.8 mL.
Then you added the metal. It fell to the bottom and displaced its volume of water.
The water level rose to 21.3 mL, so
Volume of metal = volume of displaced water
= 21.3 mL – 13.8 mL
= 7.5 mL
= 7.5 cm³
Density = mass/volume
= 43.98/7.5
= 5.9 g/cm³
