Answer:
The block is made up of aluminum.
density = 2.7 g/cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Dimension of metal block = 2.0 cm×2.5 cm× 3.0 cm
Mass of block = 40.05 g
Density of block = ?
Which metal is this = ?
Solution:
Density:
Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.
The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.
Units:
SI unit of density is Kg/m3.
Other units are given below,
g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L
Formula:
D=m/v
D= density
m=mass
V=volume
Volume of block = 2.0 cm×2.5 cm× 3.0 cm = 15 cm³
d = m/v
d = 40.5 g/ 15 cm³
d = 2.7 g/cm³
The block is made up of aluminum.
