Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/mL. Calculate the mass (in grams) of a piece of aluminum having a volume of 317 mL.

Mass = 855.9 g

Explanation:

Density:

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

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

Symbol:

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

Given dа ta:

Density of aluminium = 2.70 g/mL

Volume = 317 mL

Mass of aluminium = ?

Solution:

d = m/v

m = d*v

m = 2.70 g/mL * 317 mL

m = 855.9 g
