Answer is: the density of the metal is 19.37 g/mL.
d(metal) = ?; density.
V(metal) = 0.27 mL; volume.
m(metal) = 5.23 g; mass of sample.
d(metal) = m(metal) ÷ V(metal).
d(metal) = 5.23 g ÷ 0.27 mL.
d(metal) = 19.37 g/mL.
Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume (in this example grams per milliliter).
