Hello!!

Density = mass/volume so here we have to find density of copper with the given values. Simply plug n chug.

89.6g/10.0cm^3= 8.96 g/cm^3

Any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you.

Answer: The density of copper is
8.96g/cm^3

Explanation: Density of a substance is defined as the ratio of its mass and its volume. It is expresses in the units of
grams/cm^3

Mathematically,


Density=(Mass)/(Volume)

We are given:

Mass of the copper sample = 89.6 g

Volume of the copper sample =
10cm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:


Density=(89.6g)/(10cm^3)=8.96g/cm^3

Hence, the density of copper is
8.96g/cm^3
