A mountain hiker found a chunk of shiny metal on the trail. He wanted to find out the identity of the substance so he took the chunk of metal to the lab to determine the density. The hiker placed the metal on a balance and determined the mass. The hiker then took the metal and determined the volume by displacement. Determine the density and identity of the shiny metal. Describe how the hiker could determine this, describe the equipment and the procedure. be sure to show the work to calculate the value. mass 240.4 Ounces Initial Volume 65.3 Fluid Ounces Final Volume 87.9 Fluid Ounces Aluminum 2.70 g/mL Silver 10.5 g/mL Copper 8.96 g/mlL Gold 19.3 g/mL Titanium 4.54 g/mL Platinum 21.4 g/mL
