Answer:
The given metal sample is not aluminum because its density is 3.0 g/cm³ while density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm³.
Explanation:
Given data:
Density of aluminum = 2.7 g/cm³
Mass of metal sample = 52.0 g
Volume of metal sample = 17.1 cm³
which sample is that = ?
Solution:
The given problem will be solve through density formula.
d = m/v
d = density
m = mass
v= volume
Now we will put the values in formula.
d = 52.0 g/ 17.1 cm³
d = 3.0 g/cm³
It is given in question the density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm³. The given metal sample is not aluminum because its density is 3.0 g/cm³.
