24 g copper is submerged in water in a graduated cylinder, and the total volume increases by 2.7 mL. what is the density of copper

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is

8.89 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\[/tex]

From the question

mass of copper = 24 g

volume = 2.7 mL

The density of the metal is

[tex]density = \frac{24}{2.7} \\ = 8.8888888888 ...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

8.89 g/mL

Hope this helps you
