Answer:
d = 0.0735 g/mL
Explanation:
Given that,
The accepted value of density of a penny is 7.2 g/mL
Mass of the penny, m = 2.5 g
Volume, [tex]V=3.4\times 10^{-2}\ L[/tex]
Since, 1 L = 1000 mL
[tex]3.4\times 10^{-2}\ L=0.034\ L=34\ mL[/tex]
The density of the experiment value is given by :
Density = mass/volume
So,
[tex]d=\dfrac{2.5\ g}{34\ mL}\\\\d=0.0735\ g/mL[/tex]
Hence, the experimental value for the density of the penny is 0.0735 g/mL.
