A student is trying to determine the identity of some pieces of an unknown substance by finding their density. He finds the mass of a weighing boat to
be 2.69 g and the mass of the unknown pieces, including the weighing
boat, to be 18.01 g. To find the volume of the pieces, he measured out 25.7
mL of water in a graduated cylinder and then added the pieces to find a
new volume of 32.3 ml. What is the identity of the substance?
