Chemistry Honors Lab: Aluminum Foil Lab

Aluminum Foil Lab Part: Determining the Thickness



This lab was pretty straight forward.  We started the lab with the given density of aluminum, a meter
stick, a rectangular piece of aluminum, and a balance.  After obtaining these materials, we massed the
 aluminum.  Then, we calculated the volume, using mass (0.59 g) and density (2.7 g/cm^3).  Then 
after finding that value, we set volume equal to length (12.08) x width (11.90) x height (not found). 
 Then, dividing .22 mL (volume) by the length and width, we arrived at the height/thickness value, 
0.015 mm.
