Acup of gold colored metal beads was measured to have a mass 425 grams. by water displacement, the volume of the beads was calculated to be 48.0 cm3. given the following densities, identify the metal. a. bronze: 9.87 g/ml b. copper: 8.86 g/ml c. gold: 19.3 g/ml read more: given the following densities, identify the metal? - a cup of gold colored metal beads was measured to have a mass 425 grams. by water displacement, the volume of the beads was calculated to be 48.0 cm3. given the following densities, identify the metal. a. bronze: 9.87 g/ml b. copper: 8.86 g/ml c. gold: 19.3 g/ml

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. The metal is copper

We have the following information;

Mass of the beads = 425 grams

Volume of water displaced = 48.0 cm3

Since volume of water displaced = volume of the object

volume of the object = 48.0 cm3

Density = 425 grams/48.0 cm3

Density = 8.86 g/mL

Hence, the metal is copper

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
