To determine the identity of an irregularly shaped solid that is soluble in water, use logic. First record your mass. Then, try placing it in a liquid that it will not dissolve in to get the volume. Calculate the density and hopefully identify your substance.

∙ 14y agoDensity can certainly help in identifying an unknown solid if the compound is known to be a pure substance. Since density is a physical property, it remains constant for pure substances. However, since different substances can have different densities, other evidence is needed to confirm the identity of the solid.

1. Filtration
2. Electrolysis (if one is a metal) and...
3. Decanting
