Answer with Explanation:

Density of copper(Cu)=\rho_{Cu}=8.96g/cm^3

Density of zinc(Zn)=\rho_{Zn}=7.13 g/cm^3

Atomic mass of copper=63.546 g

Atomic mass of zinc=65.38 g

We know that

Volume=\frac{mass}{\rho}

Using the formula

Volume of copper=\frac{63.546}{8.96}=7.09 cm^3

Volume of zinc=\frac{65.38}{7.13}=9.17 cm^3

Volume is inversely proportional to  the density.

Pre -1982 penny made by copper and post-1982 penny made by zinc.

Therefore, volume of post-1982 penny is greater than the volume of pre-1982 penny because density of zinc is less than the density of copper.

irakobra [83]

80% copper (Cu)

Cu: 80 :  63.546 = 1.259

O: 20 : 16 = 1.25

Cu:O = 1 : 1

the formula: CuO

89% copper (Cu)

Cu: 89 :  63.546 = 1.4

O: 11 : 16 = 0.6875

Cu:O = 2:1

the formula: Cu₂O
