Density of Metals *

You are certainly aware that different materials weigh differently, even if they have the same volume.  In this experiment, you will determine the density of several unknown solid metal samples from their masses and volumes.  You will then identify the unknown samples based on your calculated densities.

  Densities of selected metals

Metal	Density (g/cm3)
Aluminum	2.699
Chromium	7.13
Copper	8.89
Gold	19.33
Iron	7.86
Lead	11.347
Magnesium	1.738
Mercury	13.596
Nickel	8.85
Osmium	22.5
Potassium	0.87
Silver	10.6
Tin	7.184
zinc	7.19

Note that the density of metals actually varies somewhat depending on how the metal is produced.  Your measured value may thus be different from the value listed above, but it may still be correct.
