It should look like an approximate horizontal line as it is assumed that the samples of aluminium were all at the same temperature when their weight was measured - density is a function of the material (and its temperature and pressure), not how much of it you have and so regardless of the mass, the density should be a constant, but due to experimental error in measurements and rounding of calculations, the line may not be exactly a straight horizontal line.

If there is a point way off the line, there are three possibilities:

1) Measurement were inaccurate;

2) Calculation based on the measurement made was inaccurate

3) There is a difference in make up of the sample, eg it is hollow whereas the others are solid or it could contain impurities whereas the others are [near enough] pure.

When can the slope of a graph represent density-?

When the vertical axis represents "number of things" and the horizontal represents "volume of the thing"---slope is change in vertical over change in horizontal, so units of the slope would be "number/volume", which is density.

What was higher density steel or aluminum?

Steel typically has higher density compared to aluminum. Steel has a density of around 7.85 g/cm3, while aluminum has a density of about 2.70 g/cm3. This means that steel is heavier for the same volume compared to aluminum.

What materials you need to find the density of aluminum?

You need some aluminum, a scale to determine the mass, and a measuring cup halfway filled with water to determine the volume of the piece of aluminum by substracting the volume after and before you drop the piece of aluminum in the water. Then you can calculate the density of the aluminum = mass / volume.


What is the density of 100cm3 of aluminum if it has a mass of 250g?

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. To find the density of 100 cm3 of aluminum with a mass of 250g, divide the mass by the volume: 250g / 100 cm3 = 2.50 g/cm3. The density of the aluminum sample is 2.50 g/cm3.


What is the mass of a chunk of aluminum?

The mass and volume of aluminum are related by density: mass = volume x density and density depends upon temperature and pressure. Aluminum has a density of 2.70 grams per cubic centimeter in its solid state. In its liquid state, Aluminum has a density of 2.375 grams per cubic centimeter.
