Question

The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/ml. What is the volume of 8.1 g?

Options:
A) 3.0 ml
B) 5.9 ml
C) 2.0 ml
D) 1.5 ml

Answer 1

The volume of 8.1 g of aluminum, considering its density of 2.7 g/ml, is calculated to be 3.0 ml, corresponding to option A in the choices provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of aluminum with a given mass, we use the formula density (p) = mass (m) / volume (V). Given the density of aluminum as 2.7 g/ml and the mass of the aluminum as 8.1 g, we can rearrange the formula to solve for volume (V = m / p).

V = 8.1 g / 2.7 g/ml = 3 ml.

So the volume of 8.1 g of aluminum is 3.0 ml, which corresponds to option A).
