Question

Why does a 10 gram piece of copper take up more space than a 10 gram piece of
gold?

Answer 1

Gold is more heavier.

Answer 2

A 10 gram piece of copper take up more space than a 10 gram piece of

gold because copper is less dense than gold.

Let's suppose we have 10 g of copper. We will calculate the volume occupied using its density (8.96 g/mL).

$10 g \times \frac{1mL}{8.96g} = 1.1 mL$

Now, let's calculate the volume occupied by 10 g of gold using its density (19.3 g/mL).

$10 g \times \frac{1mL}{19.3g} = 0.52 mL$

A 10 gram piece of copper take up more space than a 10 gram piece of

gold because copper is less dense than gold.
