  • Density Calculation: Copper-Tin Alloys - Step-by-Step Solution
    Let's break down this problem step-by-step. It seems like there's some missing information in the second alloy description. I'll assume you meant to say "A second alloy contains 9 cm³ of copper and 11 cm³ of tin, and has a mass of 158 g."

    Here's how to calculate the density of each alloy:

    Understanding Density

    Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. It's calculated as:

    Density = Mass / Volume

    Alloy 1

    * Volume = 8 cm³ (copper) + 7 cm³ (tin) = 15 cm³

    * Mass = 121 g

    * Density = 121 g / 15 cm³ = 8.07 g/cm³

    Alloy 2

    * Volume = 9 cm³ (copper) + 11 cm³ (tin) = 20 cm³

    * Mass = 158 g

    * Density = 158 g / 20 cm³ = 7.9 g/cm³

    Therefore:

    * The density of the first alloy is 8.07 g/cm³.

    * The density of the second alloy is 7.9 g/cm³.
