3. Find the density of a substance that has a volume of
754cm3 and a mass of 7917g. Using table 1 above
identify the substance using the density you found.
Post Lab
1. List the metals samples in order of increasing
density.
2. What is the possible identity of each sample? If you
are unable to positively identify a metal indicate that
by writing “unable to identify.”
A= ____________________
B= ____________________
C= ____________________
D=_____________________
E=_____________________
4. A balloon contains helium with a mass of
0.00296014g. What is the volume of helium in the
balloon (use table 1 above)?
5. Write 2 sentences about what you learned in this
lab.
