At a local pawn shop a student finds a medallion that the shop owner insists is pure platinum. However, the student suspects that the medallion may actually be
silver or aluminum, which are much less valuable. The student buys the medallion only after the shop owner agrees to refund the price if the medallion is returned
within two days. The student, a chemistry major, then takes the medallion to her lab and measures its density as follows. She first weighs the medallion and finds
its mass to be 36.81 g. She then places some water in a graduated cylinder and reads the volume as 75.2 ml. Next she drops the medallion into the cylinder and
reads the new volume as 78.7 ml. Is the medallion platinum (density = 21.4 g/cm3), silver (density = 10.5 g/cm3), or aluminum (density = 2.70 g/cm3)?
