Lab 1B: Aluminum Foil Lab

Procedure: We began by using a scale to find the mass of our aluminum foil (0.56g). Next, we measured the length (12.9cm) and width (11.4cm) of the aluminum foil to use in the formula volume=length*width*height. Then using the formula d=m/v and the given density (2.38g/cm^3) and mass, we solved for h and found the height of the aluminum foil to be 0.0016cm. Since the original question asked for the height in millimeters, we converted 0.0016cm to mm and got our final thickness of 0.016mm.

Data:
Mass=0.56g
Density=2.38g/cm^3

Volume-
Length=12.9cm
Width=11.4cm
Height=0.016mm
