Answer :

Answer : The metal is copper.

Explanation :

As we are given that:

Mass of metal = 25 g

Volume of metal = 40.0 mL

Formula used:

[tex]\text{Density of metal}=\frac{\text{Mass of metal}}{\text{Volume of metal}}[/tex]

Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:

[tex]\text{Density of metal}=\frac{25g}{40.0mL}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Density of metal}=8.86g/mL[/tex]

From this we conclude that the metal is copper whose density is 8.86 g/mL.

Hence, the metal is copper.
