A 4.73 kg piece of metal displaces 1.00l of water when submerged. What is the density of this metal in g/cm^3? (^3 means cubed or to the third power)

if you could show me how you did it, it would be MUCH appreciated.

  1. Remember, Jojo that 1.00l of water occupies 1000cm^3. (10 x 10 x 10).

    4.73 Kg is 4730g.

    The density is the mass per unit volume, so the density is 4730/1000 = 4.73g/cm^3.


  2. i am a female

  3. The following does not contain any information valuable to the problem. If I wanted to I would just copy and paste from the previous answer. But Jojo, lemme tell you something even more valuable than the answer to this problem. Last yr I was in 10th grade and chemistry just sounded scary and difficult. I resisted it and I did not do well as I would have hoped first semester. In 2nd semester, I took time to learn the concepts and the rules and eventually I rose above all students in my class on several chemistry tests and I started to get called genius and all this stuff I really wasn't. Chemistry is all intuitive(dont know what that means? Look it up!)

    Listen to your teacher, do not be intimidated if you zone out, chances are the chem teacher only covered 5 mins of stuff you can figure out later at home. Btw, it seems that you are having problems with problems using metric system conversions. There is a neat, simple method called dimensional analysis and it is extremely simple and once you learn it, these things will come so fast just like how I solved that 2000 kg truck problem.
