Question

What is the copper's density if a piece of copper has a mass of 10 grams and a volume of 50 cm³?

a) 0.5 g/cm³
b) 0.2 g/cm³
c) 0.4 g/cm³
d) 0.6 g/cm³

Answer 1

The density of copper with a mass of 10 grams and a volume of 50 cm³ is calculated using the formula for density and it results in 0.2 g/cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of copper is calculated by dividing the mass of the copper by its volume. The formula for density (d) is:

d = mass/volume

Given a piece of copper with a mass of 10 grams and a volume of 50 cm³, the density can be found as follows:

d = 10 g / 50 cm³ = 0.2 g/cm³

Therefore, the correct answer from the available options is b) 0.2 g/cm³.
