Question

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/ml. A piece of aluminum foil has a mass of 44 g. What is the volume of this piece of aluminum foil?

A) 0.06 ml B) 1.63 ml C) 16.3 ml D) 118.8 ml

Answer 1

C) 16.3 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is equal to the ratio between the mass of an object and its volume:

`d=(m)/(V)`

where

m is the mass

V is the volume

In our problem, we know:

- density of aluminium:
`d=2.70 g/mL`

- mass of the aluminium foil:
`m=44 g`

So we can re-arrange the equation above and use these data to find the volume of the piece of aluminium foil:

`V=(m)/(d)=(44 g)/(2.70 g/mL)=16.3 mL`
