Interpretation: The density of the metal needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The density is related to mass and volume as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is the volume of the metal.
Explanation of Solution
According to the question, the mass of the metal sample is 9.92 g. Also, the measurement for length, breadth, and height are
Now, density is related to mass and volume as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is the volume of the metal.
From the given dimensions, the volume of metal can be calculated as follows:
Now, mass can be calculated from the number of moles and volume as follows:
Or,
The given mass is 9.92 g. Substitute the values, to calculate density as follows:
Or,
Therefore, the density of metal is
