The density of aluminum is 2.70g/cm3. What volume (in cm3) does 3.00kg occupy?

Answer 1

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.
