You are given a cube of pure copper when you calculate the density using your measurements, you get 8.78 grams/cm3. Copper's accepted density
is 8.96 g/cm3. What is your percent error? *

2.01% to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Percent error =[ (8.96-8.78) / 8.96]* 100

= 0.020089 * 100

= 2.0089 %

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
