  • Identifying a Metal by Mass and Volume: A Step-by-Step Guide
    To find the metal, we need to calculate its density (ρ) using the formula:

    $$ρ = \frac{mass}{volume}$$

    Now, substitute the given values:

    $$ρ = \frac{61.0 g}{5.40 cm^3}$$

    $$ρ ≈ 11.296 g/cm^3$$

    Comparing this density with the densities of various metals, we find that it closely matches the density of aluminum.

    Therefore, the metal with a mass of 61.0 g and a volume of 5.40 cm³ is Aluminum.
