Shania King · Answer 1

The density of aluminum is always 2.7 g/cm3

Adrianna Fitzgerald · Answer 2

Find the density in a reference book.

Explanation:

Given that you are not allowed to handle the sample, then you cannot perform any kind of laboratory test. But you know that the material is aluminium, so you can go to a reference book and look up the density there, which is 2.7 g/mL.
