Answer: The mass of pure copper is 33.6 grams
Explanation:
To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:
\(\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}\)
We are given:
Density of pure copper = \(8.96g/cm^3\)
Volume of pure copper = \(3.75cm^3\)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(8.96g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of pure copper}}{3.75cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of pure copper}=(8.96g/cm^3\times 3.75cm^3)=33.6g\)
Hence, the mass of pure copper is 33.6 grams
