Question

a 39.2 g sample of copper took up the 4.4 cm3 of space.
what is the density of the copper piece in g/cm3?
? g/cm3
record your answer to the tenths place.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the density formula

Density formula is \(d=\frac{m}{V}\), where \(m\) is mass and \(V\) is volume.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 39.2\space g\) and \(V=4.4\space cm^{3}\), then \(d=\frac{39.2}{4.4}\).

Step3: Calculate the value

\(\frac{39.2}{4.4}\approx8.9\) (rounded to the tenths place).

Answer:

\(8.9\)
