Free electron model of aluminum

Aluminum has a molar mass of 26.98 g/mol and a mass density of ρ = 2.70 g/cm³. Calculate the electron density under the assumption that each atom contributes 3 valence electrons to the free electrons. Calculate the Fermi energy and the Fermi temperature of aluminum.
