why could you not determine the density of salt in the same way you determine the density of irregular solid nickel?

Solution

we can determine the density of solids by using the formula. because it has definite shape and sharp melting and boiling points.

d= ZM/a³ N

for irregular solids we cannot use thios formula because they cannot definite shape and sharp M.P , B.P.

for irregular solids, we can follow the following method to calculate density. Mass is measure by using balabce .

volume is measured by irregular solid is immeresed in water by taking marked vessel.then use the following formula

D= M/V
