We are being asked to calculate the number of moles of aluminum used.
We are given the following measurements
area aluminum foil = 1.00 cm2
thickness aluminum foil = 0.560 mm
density aluminum = 2.699 g/cm3
mol aluminum = ?
To calculate the number of moles, we will use dimensional analysis.
Recall: We use dimensional analysis as a fail proof process to convert from one unit to another.
