Question

If you have a 1 cm3 block of copper and a 1 cm3 block of zinc, which one would have more mass? Why? (remember, 1 cm3 = 1 mL)

Answer 1

copper

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³ and the density of zinc is 7.13 g/cm³.

density= mass/volume

⇒mass = density×volume

For copper,

mass = 8.96 g/cm³ × 1 cm³

mass = 8.96 grams

For zinc,

mass = 7.13 g/cm³ × 1 cm³

mass = 7.13 grams

It is clear that, the mass of copper is more.
