the question is to find the width of a piece of 10 by 10 cm aluminum foil. the foil weighs 0.4 g. the teacher gave a hint by saying it has something to do with the density of the foil, which is given on the periodic table.

any help plz?

density = mass / volume

You can calculate the volume of the foil.

volume = mass / density

once you know volume of the aluminum, then you can calulate the thickness

Volume = L x W x thinkness

Just make sure all the units are the same

You should know this.
Density = Weight / Volume
You know the weight.
You can look up the density (about 2.5 g/cm^3)
You can find the volume in cc
You can divide the volume by the foil area to get the thickness.
So what's the problem?

I won't do your homework for you. But I will point you in the right direction.
Density is mass divided by volume.
Your mass is 0.4 g.
Volume would be 10 x 10 x X, where X is width.
The density of aluminum is: 2.70 g/cm3
Your equation would be:
0.4 / (10 x 10 x X) = 2.70
I'm sure you're capable of a little algebra to solve for X (it's units will be cm).

2 issues: it could take much less time which you would be able to determine those out than it could to easily answer them, and the least difficult thank you to type an exponent on the laptop is x^2. (this implies x-squared) a million. 2s 2. 6k^2 3. 4b 4. 10x^3-3x is as mixed because it extremely is. you're transforming into a typo. 5. 21b 6. 7m+3 7. 5d+4 8. 16r-3 9. 7q-6p^4 10. y+x 11. 6h^2=6g 12. 3a+5b 13. 3x+6 14. 5+2y 15. 3a+10 a million. 3a^3 2. 19g 3. 11a+g 4. 11x+3y 5. 7k+5h 6. 17p^6-7q 7. 10k+5k^2 8. 5c+12d-6 9. 8+10b 10. 11f+4 11. 4x^3+8y 12. n+7 13. 4x+7 14. 40 two+11x 15. 15+5x

I think you mean the thickness.

The formula is D = M /V

You have the mass of 0.4 g. The density is not in the periodic table, but you can easily look it up. Make sure you have it as g / cm3. You already have the area of 100 cm2. All you have to do is solve for the thickness
