Respuesta :
Scott needs to determine the density of a metallic rod. First, he should determine the mass of his sample on the laboratory balance. Second, he should measure the volume of his sample by water displacement. Finally, he can calculate the density by dividing mass/volume.
In this exercise we have to use chemical knowledge to define the missing word in the sentence, so we have:

What is density?
Density is the ratio between the mass of a material and its volume (d = m/V) at a given temperature and pressure. For liquids and solids, the most used unit for density is g/cm3 (or g/mL), remembering that 1 cm3 = 1 mL.
