Best Answer

-- Get a pure piece of it. The size of the piece doesn't matter.

-- Measure the mass of the piece.

-- Measure the volume of the piece.

-- The density of the substance is mass of the piece/volume of the piece.

What experimental method can determine the density of metal?

Density is the mass of the object divided by its volume. By this principle, to determine the density of a metal, place the metal onto a scale to measure its mass. After this, place the metal into a beaker of water and measure the volume change in the beaker. Divide the mass by the volume and you get the density.

How do you calculate the density of metal ball?

weight the metal ball first. then fill a graduated cylinder with water- it doesnt really matter how much, and put the metal ball in the water. measure how much the water level has increased by in mL. take the mass, and divide by the mL of water and then you get the density. ++ If it's an accurate sphere you can also measure its diameter and so calculate the volume, from which and the mass you can calculate the density.

What tools would a student need to find a density of a metal cube?

You would need a balance to measure its mass. You would need a ruler to measure the length of its sides. Then you would need to calculate volume. Then divide the mass by the volume to get density.
