Question:

A group of students collected 125 empty aluminum cans to take to the recycling center.?

If 21 cans make 1.0 pounds aluminum, how many liters of aluminum (D2.70g/cm3) are obtained from the cans?1) 1.0 L2) 2.0 L3) 4.0 LPlease give me a step by step instruction thanks

Answer:

It's just a series of conversion factorsStart with what you're given and apply the conversion factors which cancel out what you don't want and leave what you do125 cans x (1.0 lb Al / 21 cans) x (453.6 g / 1 lb) x (1 cm^3 / 2.70 g Al) x (1 L / 1000 cm^3) 1.0 L Follow up With all due respect to Matt, you can make this way more complicated than it needs to beThe use of conversion factors (unit factor method, dimensional analysis) is so much easier and so very versatileYou can use the technique to solve all kinds of problemsSimply look at each conversion factor and it should be obvious where it comes from and how the units you don't want cancel out so that you are left with units of litersMatt did essentially the same thing, but you can string the conversion factors together in a chain and zip right through the problem.
Nobody knows for sure but using tin or aluminum is said to be linked to Alzheimer's when you use it in such a way
Smoking anything off tin foil is bad for ur lungs but better than aluminum.if u smoke off tin foil a lot like pill addicts u will aventualy cough up black but one or two time use u won't feel the affects.
you can defuse foil but its still bad for by the lungs but it works just fine
