Answer to Question #133515 in General Chemistry for Alyssa S

Question

a. How many grams of aluminum are in 0.53 L of aluminum?

b.If there are 10.0 lbs of aluminum, how many Liters of aluminum are there?

Answer 1

Formula which we will be using here

$Density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm³

Volume given=0.53 L=530 cm³

Mass of aluminum=2.7×530=1431 g

1 lbs = 453.6 grams

10 lbs = 4536 grams

volume of aluminium = $\frac{4536}{2.7}=1680 cm^3$

converting this into litres = 1.68 L
