Answer to Question #243330 in Chemistry for jhvgyjhs

Question

a 17.92 g sample of copper was submerged in water, and the volume reading rose by 2.00 mL. what is the density of the copper sample?

Answer 1

Solution:

Density = Mass / Volume = g / cm³

Since the volume of water rose by 2.00 mL, then the volume of copper is 2.00 mL.

Convert mL to cm³:

1 mL = 1 cm³

Hence,

(2.00 mL) × (1 cm³ / 1 mL) = 2.00 cm³

Density = (17.92 g) / (2.00 cm³) = 8.96 g/cm³

Density = 8.96 g/cm³

Answer: The density of the copper sample is 8.96 g/cm³.
