Question

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm^3. A square piece of aluminum foil, 22.86 cm on a side is found to weigh 2.568 g. What is the thickness of the foil, in millimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.00182 cm

Explanation:

Area of the aluminum foil = 22.86 cm ×22.86 cm = 522.58 cm^2

Density = mass/area × thickness

Density × area × thickness = mass

Thickness = mass/ Density × area

Thickness = 2.568 g/2.70 g/cm^3 × 522.58 cm^2

Thickness= 0.00182 cm
