Lead will always have the greater density compared to aluminium. The weight only influences the volume in question. 10kg of Al will be much more(bigger in size) than 5kg of lead.

Is the volume of gold 20g greater than the volume of lead 10g?

We need to calculate the volume of a metal from the density to be sure. Density of pure gold = 19.3  g·cm-3Density of pure lead = 11.34  g·cm-3The volume of 20 g of gold = mass/density = 20 [g] / 19.3  g·cm-3 = 1.036 cm3 The volume of 10 g of lead = mass/density = 10 [g] / 11.34  g·cm-3 = 0.882 cm3 Hence, the volume of 20 g of gold is slightly greater than that of 10 g of lead. =========================


Why does a lump of lead have a greater mass than a lump of wood?

The molecules of lead are more massive and are more densely packed together than those of wood.


Can you tell difference between aluminum and lead?

At first glance they might be hard to distinguish, but on closer inspection you'll notice that lead is much heavier than aluminum. The density of those metals are 11.34 g\cm3 for lead and 2.7 g\cm3 for aluminum. In other words a cubic centimeter of lead weights 11.34 grams, while a cub. centimeter of aluminum only 2.7 grams. Aluminum is also harder than lead. Aluminum scores 2.75 in Mohs' hardness test, while lead scores only 1.5 (Graphite scores 1, Diamond scores 10). If you're still not sure you can try and melt both metals. The melting point for aluminum is 660.32 deg. Celsius (1220.50* F) while for lead it is only 327.46 deg. Celsius (621.43* F). In other words lead will melt in lower temperatures than aluminum. There are a lot of other differences but the ones i quoted are quite easy to verify using simple methods (scales, sharp nail and a gas cooker respectively). Also, if you happen to have a strong magnet at hand you can check their magnetic ordering. Aluminum is "paramagnetic" which means it is attracted by magnetic fields. Lead is "diamagnetic" - applying a magnetic field will not attract it (to be more precise, it will cause a repulsive effect but a very, very weak one - it cannot be observed in normal circumstances).


What is heavier water or lead?

Lead (11,34 g.cm^-3) has a greater density than water (1 g.cm^-3) so for the same volume of water and lead, lead will be heavier. The "-3" should be written as an exponent but it won't allow me


What is Galena or bauxite?

Galena is a mineral composed of lead sulfide, and the main ore of lead. Bauxite is a rock containing various amounts of aluminum minerals and is the main ore of aluminum.

Which has the greater density 5 kg of lead or 10 kg of aluminum?

No matter how much of a sample you have, its density is the same. So 1g of lead has the same density as 1,000kg of lead. To find out which is more dense, just look it up somewhere. Or look at the periodic table. Lead's atomic mass is much greater than aluminum's, suggesting that it is more dense.


What has greater density silver or lead?

Lead has a greater density than silver. Lead has a density of 11.34 g/cm3, while silver has a density of 10.49 g/cm3.


What mass of lead occupies the same volume of 100g of aluminum?

Lead has a higher density compared to aluminum. So, to find the mass of lead that occupies the same volume as 100g of aluminum, you would first calculate the volume of the aluminum using its density. Then, you would find the mass of lead that occupies the same volume by using the density of lead.

Which has a greater weight a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead which has greater density?

They both weight a kilogram. Lead has a higher density.


Which material has greater density lead or feathers?

Lead


How do you tell if metal is aluminum or lead?

One way to determine if metal is aluminum or lead is by conducting a density test. Aluminum has a density of about 2.7 g/cm³, while lead has a density of around 11.3 g/cm³. You can also check the color and weight - lead is denser and heavier than aluminum.


Which has the greatest density an iceberg a gallon of water an aluminum can or a small piece of lead?

A small piece of lead has the greatest density among the options listed. Lead has a high density compared to water, icebergs, and aluminum.


Which is lighter lead or aluminum?

Lead is the denser element


Which has greater weight a kilogram of butter of kilogram of lead what is greater density which has greater volume?

They both weigh the same: 1kg = 1kg. The kg of butter has a greater volume and the kg of lead has a higher density.


Theoretical density of Zinc Aluminum and Lead?

Zinc- 7.14 g/mL Aluminum- 2.70 g/mL Lead- 11.34 g/mL


Why is 2kg sample of lead denser than 10kg sample of iron?

Density is a weight per unit volume calculation. There could be different alloys or casting methods with subtle differences in density, or temperature variations in expansion and density. However: Every cubic centimeter of lead weighs 11.34 grams. Every cubic centimeter of iron weighs 7.86 grams. Thus, the density of lead (11.34 g/cc) is greater than iron (7.86 g/cc). This is independent of the actual weight and volume of the sample.
