Answer:
Aluminum
Explanation:
It is given that:
Mass of sugar = Mass of aluminum
The volume occupied by the two substances can be deduced from their densities.
Density of a substance is a constant and given by the ratio of its mass to volume.
[tex]Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]
[tex]Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density}[/tex]
Density of aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3
Density of Sugar = 1.59 g/cm3
Since the masses are equal we have:
[tex]\frac{Volume\ Aluminum}{Volume\ Sugar} = \frac{Density\ sugar}{Density\ Aluminum} = \frac{1.59}{2.7} = 0.59[/tex]
Volume of Aluminum = 0.59 (Volume of sugar)
Therefore, aluminum will require a container of smaller volume
