Density = mass /volume = 89.6/10 = 8.96gm/cm^3.

Answer: 8.96 g/cm3

Step-by-step explanation: Density is defined as the mass of a substance contained in unit volume of a substance.


Density=(mass)/(volume)

Given : mass of pure copper = 89.6 g

Volume of copper=
cm^3

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


\text {Density of the sample of copper is}}=8.96g/cm^3
