Question

If a sample of copper with a density of 8.90 g/cm3 has a mass of 798 g, what is its volume? 89.7 mL 0.0111 mL 7.10 x 103 mL

Answer 1

Hey there!

1 mL = 1 cm³

Therefore:

D = m / V

8.90 = 798 / V

V = 798 / 8.90

V = 89.7 mL

Answer A

Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that density is the amount of mass divided by volume.

Mathematically, Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

It is given that density is 8.90
`g/cm^(3)` and mass is 798 g.

Therefore, calculate the volume as follows.

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

8.90
`g/cm^(3)` =
`(798 g)/(volume)`

volume = 89.7
`cm^(3)`

As 1
`cm^(3)` = 1 ml. Hence, volume is 89.7 ml.

Thus, we can conclude that if a sample of copper with a density of 8.90 g/cm3 has a mass of 798 g then its volume is 89.7 ml.
