aluminum has a density of 27g/cm3 if a chunk of aluminum with a mass of 16g is placed in a graduated cylinder partially filled with water how much will the water level rise

To determine how much the water level will rise when the chunk of aluminum is placed in the graduated cylinder, you need to consider the density of aluminum and the principle of displacement.

1. Start by calculating the volume of the aluminum chunk using its mass and density:

Density = Mass / Volume => Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = 16g / 27g/cm³

Volume ≈ 0.59 cm³ (rounded to two decimal places)

2. Now, when the aluminum chunk is placed in the water, it will displace an equal volume of water. This displacement will cause the water level in the graduated cylinder to rise.

Therefore, the water level will rise by approximately 0.59 cm³.

Surely you mean Al has a density of 2.7 g/cc.

mass = volume x density. You have mass and density, substitute and solve for volume. That's the amount that the water level will rise when the chunk of Al is placed in the graduated cylinder.
