Step 1: Prepare the Aluminum

Obtain approximately 0.1 gram of aluminum foil. Your TA will show you the amount of aluminum foil that represents about 0.1 gram.

Weigh your piece of aluminum foil on a balance. Record the mass to the nearest hundredth of a gram in your laboratory notebook.
Cut the aluminum foil into smaller pieces with scissors, being careful not to lose any.
