Answer

$22.84\text{ g}$

Work Step by Step

We will use the formula: $\text{Mass}=\text{Volume}\times\text{Density}$ We calculate the volume: $\text{Volume}=2.5\text{ cm}\times 3.5\text{ cm}\times 1.5\text{ cm}=13.125\text{ cm}^3$ Then we calculate the mass, using the density of magnesium $1.74\text{ g/cm}^3$: $\text{Mass}=13.125\text{ cm}^3\times 1.74\text{ g/cm}^3\approx 22.84\text{ g}$
