The density (ρ) of a substance is its mass (m) per unit volume (V):


\rho=(m)/(V)

For the given sample of copper:


\rho=(89.6g)/(10cm^3)=8.96\frac{g}{\operatorname{cm}^3}

Then, the density of the given sample is 8.96 g/cm^3 (grams per cubic centimeter)

A 10 cm^3 sample of copper has a mass of 89.6 grams. What is the density?-example-1
