V = 38.55 mL - 15.75 mL = 22.80 mL = 22.80 cm³

D = [tex] \frac{M}{V} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{31.745 g}{ 22.80 cm^{3} } [/tex] = 1.392 g/cm³

The density of the substance is given by the mass and the volume. The density of the metal weighing 31.745 gms is 1.392 g/cm³.

The density of the substance is grams of the substance per cubic centimeter of the solution.

Given,

Mass of metal = 31.745 gms

Volume = 38.55 mL - 15.75 mL = 22.80 mL

The volume is converted from mL to cm³:

1 mL = 1 cm³

22.80 mL = 22.80 cm³

Density (D) is calculated as:

D = M ÷ V

= 31.745 ÷ 22.80

= 1.392 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the metal is 1.392 g/cm³.
