Major Grade: Due (on time) Nov 9, 10 or 11 (LATE after Nov 11) -20 pts
Turn this page in stapled to your project AFTER the mass is measured.
If you do not bring in your own Al foil object by the deadline you will LOSE 20 POINTS.
Summary: Build a uniquely shaped object made of aluminum foil. In lab, measure the mass of
the object and then answer the questions below. You must show your work on questions that
require calculation. Questions that do not show work will receive ZERO credit. Draw a box
around your final answer. SHOW YOUR WORK!
SAFETY: This lab requires no hazardous or corrosive materials safety goggles,
aprons, and gloves are optional. Care should be taken to avoid being injured by edged
tools used for cutting aluminum foil.

The object has a creative shape. Go ahead and practice origami. (It must be a
unique shape. It is not a ball or snake shape and it is not flat.)

How many aluminum atoms are found in your object? Use dimensional
analysis including units to convert grams to atoms.

If a sample of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) had the same mass as your
object, how many moles of magnesium sulfate would be there?
