A metal block, 2.0cm x 2.5cm x 3.0cm, has a mass of 40.5g. What is the density of the sample? What type of metal is the metal block composed of? Aluminum - 2.699
Copper - 8.92
Iron - 7.874
Lead - 11.43
Nickel - 8.908
Tin - 7.265
Zinc - 7.14

The block is made up of aluminum.

density = 2.7 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Dimension of metal block = 2.0 cm×2.5 cm× 3.0 cm

Mass of block = 40.05 g

Density of block = ?

Which metal is this = ?

Solution:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Volume of block = 2.0 cm×2.5 cm× 3.0 cm = 15 cm³

d = m/v

d = 40.5 g/ 15 cm³

d = 2.7 g/cm³

The block is made up of aluminum.

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
