Copper density = 8.96 g/cm3Zinc density = 7.134 g/cm3Penny density = 8.96 g/cm3(.025) + 7.134 g/cm3(.975) = 7.18 g/cm3Average Density in Experiment = 7.2 g/cm3The densities are fairly close, however, the density from the data collected in the experiment is a little bit higher than the one calculated from the percentages. This discrepancy could be due to a number of human errors like reading the measurements incorrectly or not drying off the
