Objective:
To determine how think a piece of aluminum foil and how many atoms are stacked up to make that thickness of the foil.

Introduction: To be able to complete the experiment one must understand the basis of the period table such as the location of the elements and deciphering from a metal and a non-metal, as well as identifying the atomic mass and atomic number of an element. One must have knowledge of the mathematics of destiny which is defined as mass dived by volume to perform a dimensional analysis. Dimensional analysis is a problem-solving method that uses the concept that any number or expression can be multiplied by one without changing its value and converting information into the correct annotation. From the handout it states that, “approximately 2.7 million hydrogen …show more content…

Procedure:
With all materials needed, proceed to use the aluminum block to determine the mass and then record in a table. Then fill the graduated cylinder halfway with water and record the volume of the water precisely. Tip the cylinder gradually being cations as not to spill and slide the aluminum block into the graduated cylinder. Put the cylinder straight up and confirm the block is absolutely submerged. Afterwards record the volume. Extract the aluminum block from the cylinder and dispose of the remaining water and clean the cylinder before storing it away. For the second half of the experiment retrieve a single piece of aluminum foil and cut out a 15cm x 15cm square. Then calculate the width and length of the foil and record the data in the table. Finally determine the mass of the piece of aluminum foil and record it.

Results: Quantitative Results water rises with aluminum block water without block aluminum block graduated
