Are these 10 coins of the same type?
density = g/mL = 55g/1 mL = ? but this is not the reported density of Ag; therefore, the coins must not be the same.
Is this a made up problem? The density of the heaviest metal in the periodic table is no more than about 20 g/mL or so. The tabulated value for density Ag is 10.1 g/mL.
The specific gravity is the same numerical value as density but no units.
If I have 10 silver coins and they weigh 55 grams and displace water from 25 mL to 26 mL, what is the density? What is the specific gravity?
