Question

Pure gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm^3 . How large would a piece of gold be if it

had a mass of 318.97 g?

Answer 1

Density = Mass/Volume but it can also be rearranged to:

Volume = Mass/Density

Given in the question:

Mass - 318.97 g

Density - 19.3 g/cm3

Calculation

Density = Mass/Volume

= 318.97/19.3

= 16.52
`cm^(3)`

Therefore, the volume of the gold is 16.52
`cm^(3)`
