Question:

Your teacher hands you a small sample of a mystery metal and the chart seen here. Available to you for lab use are: ruler, 100mL

graduated cylinder, 100 ml beaker, bunsen burner, analytical balance, and a crucible. Using only the materials provided:

explain how you would measure the properties needed for determining density:

using your own hypothetical data from the above procedure, calculate the density of a sample; and

use your calculations to show how you would determine the identity of the sample.
