How would you find the density of a lump of sodium that is about 10 grams?

The volume must be determined; try the method of liquid displacement using an anhydrous mineral oil.


What is the density of a 5kg lump of metal with the volume of 3.2m?

Nothing can have a volume of 3.2 m. If the volume were 3.2 cubic metres, the density would be 5/3.2 = 1.5625 kg per m3

What makes food into a small lump called a bolus?

Food is transformed into a small lump called a bolus through the process of chewing and mixing it with saliva in the mouth. The mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in the mouth helps form the bolus, which is then swallowed and passes through the esophagus into the stomach where further digestion occurs.


Why is density considerd a physical property?

If you take various lumps of copper, weigh them and find their volume, you find that the ratio mass/volume is always the same. If you do the same with silver, you get a constant ratio that is different to that of copper. Thus the ratio mass/volume (that we call density) is a property of the material (e.g.copper) rather than any particular lump.


A lump of gold has a volume of 10 cm and a mass of 193 g another lump of gold has a mass of 96.5 g What is the volume of the second lump of gold?

193/10 - 19.3 g/cm^3 cubic centimetre of gold we have we have 19.3 grams so if we have 96.5 grams we can divide it by 19.3 we have 5 cubic centimetres


What is the black lump remaining after burning sucrose?

The black lump is mostly carbon. Normally I would expect to find some partial combustion byproducts as well, since combustion is rarely 100% efficient.


Density of a substance?

Density is the mass per unit volume of the substance and for any "lump" of the substance may be calculated by Mass/Volume in the appropriate units.


How do you find the volume of a three-dimensional irregular shape?

If it is a small shape that is denser than a convenient fluid and insoluble in it and also does not react with it then the displacement method is simplest. Fill a graduated cylinder with the fluid, measure the volume of the fluid. Then gently insert the shape and measure the apparent volume of the fluid. The difference between the two volume readings is the volume of the shape. If the shape is less dense than the fluid you have to make one change. You need to find a dense insoluble object. Measure the volume of the fluid with the dense object immersed in it. Then measure the volume when the dense object and the shape are joined together and submerged. The difference between the two measures is the volume of the shape. This method will not work with soluble shapes unless you can find a fluid that it is not soluble in. Similarly, you cannot use a fluid that will react. So measuring the volume of a lump of sugar or a lump of sodium using water are non-starters. Finally, the method will not work if the irregular shape is huge.
