The density of copper is 8.92 grams per milliliter. What volume of water will 40.0 grams of copper displace?

4.48 milliliters

4.48 liters

357 milliliters

357 liters

Density:

The density of a substance is equal to the ratio of its mass and volume. In general we can say the density of a substance is mass per unit volume.

Density = mass in g / volume in cubic cm or ml

Given that

Density = 8.92 g / ml

Mass = 40.0 g

Therefore,

Volume = mass / density

= 40.0 g / 8.92 g / ml

= 4.48 ml

Thus the correct answer is 4.48 ml
