Lab Assessment Identification of an unknown metal using density.
Purpose: identify the following metal shot using density Procedure: use the lab techniques that you learned this week to find the density of the metal shot and compare that density to a set of known densities. Be sure to record the procedure that you used. Hypothesis: predict what you think the metal shot is made of
Sample Densities of various Metals MetalDensity (g/cm 3 ) Aluminum2.70 Bismuth9.78 Chromium7.19 Copper8.94 Iron7.87 Lead11.34 Silver10.49 Steel8.05 Titanium4.51
Assessment (due on Tuesday) Students will submit a written laboratory report in order to support or reject their stated hypothesis as to the identity of the metal shot.
