Question

What would be the mass of a 3.0 cm^3 cube of copper? Show your calculations, use units and express your answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 26.88 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of copper = 3.0 cm³

Mass of copper = ?

Solution:

In order to calculate the mass we should know the density of copper. From literature the density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³.

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

m = d × v

m = 8.96 g/cm³×3.0 cm³

m = 26.88 g
