Question

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8. 4 cm by 5. 5 cm by 4. 6 cm. From this data, what is the density of copper?.

Answer 1

Answer:

$8.92g/cm^3$

Explanation:

The equation for density is:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

We already have the mass, so we will solve for the volume:

$V=8.4*5.5*4.6$

$V=212.52 cm^{3}$

Now we can find density:

$density=\frac{1896g}{212.52cm^3}$

$density=8.92g/cm^3$
