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.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
