Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/ml. calculate the mass (in grams) of a piece of aluminum having a volume of 381 ml . express your answer to three significant figures.

Mass ≈ 1030g (Three significant Figures)

Explanation:

We were given;

Density = 2.70 g/mL

Mass = ?

Volume = 381 mL

The relationship between all three parameters mentioned above is given by the formular below;

Density = Mass / Volume

Upon solving for Mass, we have;

Mass = Density * Volume

Substituting the respective values;

Mass = 2.7 * 381

Mass = 1028.7g

Mass ≈ 1030g (Three significant Figures)

c. heat could easily travel through the molecules in the air and escape/enter the flask. removing the air slows down the heat transfer.
