When a 5.00-g metal piece, A, was immersed in 38.0 mL of water, the water level rose to 50.0 mL. Similarly, when a 5.00-g metal piece, B, was immersed in 38.0 mL of water, the level of water rose to 60.0 mL. Compare the density of the metal pieces. A and B. Show your work.

A is denser than B as it's volume for the same mass is smaller.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we first need to take into account that the density of each metal A and B is computed by dividing the mass over the volume of each metal which is actually computed by substracting the volume of water from the volume of the water and the solid:

Next, we compute the densities as shown below:

In such a way, A is denser is B as it's volume for the same mass is smaller.

Best regards.
