To find the mass of the copper chunk, you can use the formula for mass, which is given by the product of density and volume:
\[
\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}
\]
Given:
- Density of copper = 8.96 g/mL
- Volume of copper = 20.0 mL
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Mass} = 8.96 \, \text{g/mL} \times 20.0 \, \text{mL}
\]
\[
\text{Mass} = 179.2 \, \text{g}
\]
Thus, the mass of the copper chunk is **179.2 grams**.
\[
\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}
\]
Given:
- Density of copper = 8.96 g/mL
- Volume of copper = 20.0 mL
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Mass} = 8.96 \, \text{g/mL} \times 20.0 \, \text{mL}
