Question:
Your teacher hands you a small sample of a mystery metal and the chart seen here. Available to you for lab use are: ruler, 100mL
graduated cylinder, 100 ml beaker, bunsen burner, analytical balance, and a crucible. Using only the materials provided:
explain how you would measure the properties needed for determining density:
using your own hypothetical data from the above procedure, calculate the density of a sample; and
use your calculations to show how you would determine the identity of the sample.
