We can use the formula:
density = mass / volume
To find the volume, we rearrange the formula:
volume = mass / density
Plugging in the values:
volume = 3.00kg / 2.70g/cm3
We must make sure the units are consistent. We can convert the mass to grams:
volume = 3000g / 2.70g/cm3
Simplifying:
volume = 1111.11 cm3
Therefore, 3.00 kg of aluminum occupies 1111.11 cm3.
