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.

the answer is true. hope it .
