Answer: The density of metal is [tex]11.16g/cm^3[/tex]
Explanation:
To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}[/tex]
We are given:
Mass of metal = 5.30 lb = 2406.2 g (Conversion factor: 1 lb = 454 g)
Volume of metal = [tex]13.2in^3=215.69cm^3[/tex] (Conversion factor: [tex]1in^3=16.34cm^3[/tex] )
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Density of metal}=\frac{2406.2g}{215.69cm^3}\\\\\text{Density of metal}=11.16g/cm^3[/tex]
Hence, the density of metal is [tex]11.16g/cm^3[/tex]
