You can see a physical change always but not always a chemical
Density = Mass / Volume
Input the values in their respective places and then use algebra to solve for volume.
Hope that helps.
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen.
And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.
(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)
2.7 L in cm³ :
2.7 * 1000 = 2700 cm³
Weight = Volume * Density
2700 * 0.79 = 2133 g
1 Ibs = <span>453.59 g
2133 / 453.59 = 4.70 Ibs
hope this helps!</span>
