Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. What is the mass (g) of aluminum foil that has a volume of 41.5 cm3?

Answer 1

You can solve this problem easily if you remember that Density = mass/volume.

Since you know the density is 2.70 and the volume is 41.5, rearrange the formula so that:

Mass = density x volume.

Mass = 2.70 g/cm3 x 41.5 cm3

Mass = 112.05 g

If you'd like an easier, more visual method to solving these problems using the density formula, I'd be happy to set up a private tutoring session and explain more.
