g) Use the substances given in table 1 to calculate the volume of 270 g of aluminum.
The densities of substances given:
glycerol (substance a) = 0.97 g/mL
isoprop (substance b) = 1.20 g/mL
water (substance c) = 0.85 g/mL
How would i know what the mass is? Would i use the G.R.A.S.S formula?
could u please help me with this question? your help is very appreciated:)
Did you perform some kind of an experiment with these materials? And I don't know what the GRASS formula is? Perhaps you could enlighten me.
we did an experiment. and the grass formula is:
Given: (what we already know)
Required: (wha we need to know)
Aanalysis: (how we figure it out, the formula ex. d = m x v)
Solution: ( do the formula)
statement: ( therefore...)
Thanks. Now if you will type in what you did with the experiment, perhaps we can help on that. I'm sure you either weighed the Al in one or more of the substances listed or you measured the volume of one or more of them, placed the Al in, and re-read the volume.
To calculate the volume of aluminum, you need to know its mass and density. However, the question does not provide the density or mass of aluminum. Therefore, it appears that you may be missing some information to solve the problem accurately.
If you have the density of aluminum, you can use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
To find the mass of aluminum, you can use the given volume and the density of water, glycerol, or isoprop as a reference for comparison. You can assume that aluminum has a higher density than water (0.85 g/mL), glycerol (0.97 g/mL), and isoprop (1.20 g/mL).
To find the mass of aluminum, you can rearrange the formula as follows:
Mass (Aluminum) = Volume (Aluminum) x Density (Aluminum)
Since the volume of aluminum is not provided in the question, it is not possible to determine the mass or volume accurately. You may need to refer to a different source or provide additional information to solve the problem.
Regarding the GRASS formula you mentioned, it does not apply to this specific question. The GRASS acronym stands for Given, Required, Analysis, Solution, and Statement. It is a problem-solving strategy that helps you organize your thoughts while solving scientific problems. However, in this case, the missing information about aluminum's density or mass prevents you from using the GRASS formula effectively.
