Question

(2 points) A ring weighing 9.45 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 25.3 mL of water. After the ring is added to the cylinder the water rises to 27.4 mL. What metal is the ring made out of? Assume the ring is a single metal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Titanium.

Explanation:

Density of a metal is defined as the mass of the metal and its volume.

Volume of the metal = total volume- volume of initial water

= 27.4 - 25.3

= 2.1 ml

Mathematically,

Density = mass/volume

= 0.00945 kg/0.0000021 m3

= 4500 kg/m3.

The metal is Titanium.
