Question

A block of aluminum occupies a volume of 15.0 mL and weighs 40.5 g. What is its density? Answer in g/mL.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

2.7 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

From the question

mass of aluminum = 40.5 g

volume = 15 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

We have

$Density = \frac{40.5}{15}$

We have the final answer as

2.7 g/mL
