Density is a common physical property of substances that can give insight into the structure of the substance on the atom or molecular level. You are attempting to measure the thickness of a rectangular piece of aluminum found at a crime scene, but it is too thin for your ruler. You know density has units of g/mL, and you recall mL is the same as cm?. Sooo...why not use the volume of the metal, the length and height? to find the volume by water displacement, you lower the sample into a graduated cylinder with an initial volume of water of 32.9 ml. the volume of water rises to 48.1 ml. you also mass the sample and determine it to be 20.28 g. finally, you measure the length of the solid to be 6.5 cm and the height to be 5.1 cm. from this information determine the thickness of the metal rectangular solid(mm).
