The **density** of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. We can calculate the density using the formula:
[ \text{Density} (\rho) = \frac{\text{Mass} (m)}{\text{Volume} (V)} ]
Given that the sample has a volume of **50 cm³** and a mass of **135 g**, let's determine the density:
[ \rho = \frac{135 , \text{g}}{50 , \text{cm³}} ]
The calculated density is approximately **2.7 g/cm³**[^10^]. Now let's compare this value to known densities:
**Gold**: Gold has a density of *19.3 g/cm³*⁷. The sample's density is significantly lower.
**Pure Water**: The density of pure water is approximately **1 g/cm³** at 4.0°C (39.2°F) . The sample's density is higher than water.
**Aluminum**: Aluminum has a density of *2.7 g/cm³*[^10^]. The sample's density matches that of aluminum.
**Ocean Water**: Ocean water contains dissolved salts, which increase its density. Seawater density typically ranges from *1.02 g/cm³ to 1.03 g/cm³*. The sample's density is higher than seawater.
Based on the calculated density, the sample is most likely **aluminum**.
Aluminum is a pure substance. It is the thirteenth element in the periodic table. Aluminum is the only metal in a sample of aluminum, unless it contains impurities.

It is used every day by analytical scientist to find out the amount of substance in a sample.
27.3 g is the mass of an aluminum sample with a volume of 10.0 cm3.
One can test for aluminum in a sample by using methods such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy, or colorimetric tests. These methods involve analyzing the sample for the presence of aluminum ions or compounds.
Density of a substance = (mass of a sample of the substance) divided by (volume of the same sample)
Modern light microscope
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.
To find the number of moles in a sample, divide the sample's mass by the substance's atomic mass unit (amu). For a substance with an amu of 12, the number of moles in the sample can be calculated by dividing the sample's mass by 12.

Density of a substance = (mass of a sample of it)/(volume of the same sample)
