A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she tried the following experiment. First she measured the mass of the metal to be 385.8 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 17.8 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal. Density = g/mL Use the table below to decide the identity of the metal. This metal is most likely . substances density g/cm3
water 1.00
aluminium 2.72
chromium 7.25
nickel 8.91
silver 10.50
lead 11.34
