Question

Density (D) is defined as the ratio of mass (m) to volume (V) and can be determined from the expression D = . Find the density of a sample of pure aluminum if a rectangular prism of volume 32.32 cm3 occupies a mass of 87.329 g. (Remember to put a space between your numerical value and the unit.)

Answer 1

That is a question about density.

To solve that question, it is important to know how we can obtain the Density of an object. Below, you can see the formula:

`\boxed{D=(m)/(v) }`

`D = Density\\m = Mass\\V = Volume`

Now, it is easy to answer, right? We just replace the values in the formula. The mass is 87.329g and the volume is 32.32cm³. So,

`D=(m)/(v) \\\\D = (87.329g)/(32.32cm^3) \\\\D \approx 2.70g/cm^3`

Therefore, the density of the the aluminium is approximately 2.7 g/cm³.

I hope I've helped. ^^
