Density of liquid copper
2003
Hello everyone,
I am working in a project as a graduate student and I desperately need to know what is the density of pure copper in the liquid phase. It is not necessary to get the exact number.
Thank you in advance.

For a good approximation, I would suggest you use the density of solid copper (8.933 g/cm3)

Thanks, Ken! I thought Trevor's answer was excellent, but there is much more thermal expansion than my gut allowed for.
