Question

A sample of gold has a mass of 38.6 grams and a volume of 2 cm3 what is the density of gold

Answer 1

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Your mass = 38.6 grams
Your volume = 2 cm3

38.6 ÷ 2 = 19.3 grams per cm3

Answer 2

Density,
`d=19.3\ g/cm^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the sample of gold, m = 38.6 grams

Volume of gold sample,
`V=2\ cm^3`

The density of gold sample is given by mass per unit volume. Mathematically, it is given by :

`d=(m)/(V)`

`d=(38.6\ g)/(2\ cm^3)`

`d=19.3\ g/cm^3`

So, the density of the sample of gold is
`19.3\ g/cm^3`. Hence, this is the required solution.
