Question

The mass of a piece of aluminum is 250 grams. The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/mL. What is the volume of the piece of aluminum?

92.59 mL

95 mL

247.3 mL

0.01 mL

Answer 1

To find the volume of the aluminum, you can use the formula for density:

$$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$$

Rearrange the formula to solve for volume:

$$\text{Volume}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$$

Now, plug in the given values:

$$\text{Volume}=\frac{250\text{ grams}}{2.7\text{ g/mL}}$$

$$\text{Volume}\approx 92.59\text{ mL}$$

Therefore, the volume of the piece of aluminum is approximately 92.59 mL.
