The coin's density is about 8.974 g/cm3
The density of pure silver is 10.5 grams per cubic centimeter. If you have the exact volume of the coin in CCs, you can calculate the weight that it would be were it pure silver. If it differs substantially from the calculated value, it is an alloy.
The density of anything can be found using m/v=d. where m is mass, v is volume, and d is density. therefore you find the volume of the coin (whether it be penny, nickel, dime, quarter, or peso) and then mass the coin on a balance and work the problem out.
The mass of any coin is typically measured in grams; the capacity or volume would be measured in millilitres.
A sugar cube, since the sugar cube will dissolve in the water and you will not be able to measure the increase in volume.
No, a coin can not float on gasoline.
The idea is to divice the mass by the volume, to get the density. Then compare to the density of silver.The idea is to divice the mass by the volume, to get the density.

Divide the mass by the volume to calculate its density. If its density isn't the same as an equal amount of pure silver, the coin has some other metal in it.The density test can be fooled if the coin was adulterated with other metals that average out to the same density as silver, however.

It can; density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. Increasing its mass could increase its density--it depends on what happens to the volume as well.

It's worth one dollar, and it doesn't contain any silver.

They are correlated by volume weight/volume = density. For example, in a metal coin, the weight might not be much, but the volume is also very low, so it turns out that the density is high. Gases have almost no weight in a lot of volume, so their density is low.
The $1 denomination is artificial. You have a bullion piece sold for its silver content; the current price is about $18/oz.
