Daniel has a sample of pure copper. Its mass is 89.6 grams (g), and its volume is 10 cubic centimeters (cm3). What’s the density of the sample? A. 0.11 g/cm3 B. 8.96 g/cm3 C. 11.1 g/cm3 D. 896 g/cm3

To calculate the density of a substance, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
\]

Given:
- Mass = 89.6 grams (g)
- Volume = 10 cubic centimeters (cm³)

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Density} = \frac{89.6 \, \text{g}}{10 \, \text{cm}^3} = 8.96 \, \text{g/cm}^3
\]

Thus, the density of the copper sample is **8.96 g/cm³**.

The correct answer is **B. 8.96 g/cm³**.

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. What is the mass of a copper sample with a volume of 15 cm³ if the density is 8.96 g/cm³?
2. If a sample has a density of 5 g/cm³ and a volume of 25 cm³, what is its mass?
3. How do the mass and volume of an object affect its density?
4. What would happen to the density if the volume of the sample is doubled but the mass stays the same?
5. How can you experimentally measure the density of a material?

**Tip:** The density of an object is a characteristic property, meaning it does not change regardless of the sample's size as long as the material remains pure.
