The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3.  Suppose you have 12 cm3 of aluminum.

  1. What is its mass? g
  2. What is the mass density of a piece of aluminum 24 cm3 in volume? g/cm3

Correct Answer

(1) 32.4
(2) 2.7

Explanation

  1. Density = mass/volume
    • mass = density • volume
    • mass = 2.7 g/cm3 • 12 cm3
    • 32.4 g
  2. 2.7 g/cm3
