A famous chemical company in Oman hired you as a research chemist. On the very first day of your job, your senior asked you to determine the density of a newly discovered unknown metal. In your lab, two liquids named X and Y are
available with densities of 3.0771 g/mL and 4.0017 g/mL respectively. In the process of finding density you made a
mixture of these liquids and drop a small object of that unknown metal, however, you notice that the object becomes
suspended in the liquid; that is, it neither sinks nor floats. If the mixture was made of 32.77 percent X and 67.23 percent
Y by volume, what is the density of the metal?
Select one:
a. 7.398 g/mL.
b. 2.413 g/mL
c. 2.360 g/mL
d. 3.699 g/mL
e. 3.539 g/mL
