Answer:

Since the foil has a mass of 830 g, you can use the density to find its volume 830g ⋅ 1 cm3 2.70g = 307.4 cm3 You now know that the volume of the foil is

Step-by-step explanation:

The density (more precisely, the volumetric mass density; also known as specific mass), of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: ρ=m/V where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume. In some cases (for instance, in the United States oil and gas industry), density is loosely defined as its weight per unit volume, although this is scientifically inaccurate – this quantity is more specifically called specific weight.
