The answer to your question is Final volume = 58.37 ml

Explanation:

Data

density = 8.96 g/cm³

mass = 75 g

volume of water = 50 ml

Process

1. - Calculate the volume of copper

Density = mass / volume

Solve for volume

Volume = mass / density

Substitution

Volume = 75/8.96

Simplification

Volume = 8.37cm³ or 8.37 cm³

2. - Calculate the new volume of water in the graduated cylinder

Final volume = 50 + 8.37

Final volume = 58.37 ml
