The mass of a substance is 57.96 g and a volume of 3.00 cm3. Find the density. Based on the density, what element could this substance be? Find the specific gravity of this substance.

D= m/v

D= 57.96g/ 3 cm= 19.32 g/cm~ 19.3 g/cm3

Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm3, Tungsten would also be an acceptable answer (19.25 g/cm3)

Sp. Grav. = 19.3 g/cm3 / 1.000 g/cm3 = 19.3

on a heating curve, the line plateaus at the melting point. why is this? 

the substance absorbs the heat and kinetic energy forms. When the phases change the intermolecular forces break.
