Question

1. the data table in question 6 should allow you to state a relationship between the variables involved in the class’s experiment. complete the following statement: as the volume of copper increases, the mass of copper ______

table with columns: group number, volume (cm³), mass (g), substance (all copper). rows:
1 | 2.0 | 17.92 | copper
2 | 4.0 | 39.80 | copper
3 | 6.0 | 60.89 | copper
4 | 8.0 | 79.30 | copper
5 | 10.0 | 93.45 | copper
6 | 12.0 | 103.85 | copper
7 | 14.0 | 125.44 | copper

Explanation:

To determine the relationship, we analyze the data. For copper, as volume (e.g., 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, etc. \( \text{cm}^3 \)) increases, mass (e.g., 17.92, 39.80, 60.89, etc. g) also increases. This is because mass and volume of a substance (with constant density, like copper) are directly proportional. So the mass of copper increases as its volume increases.

Answer:

increases
