Question

Suppose a big chunk of gold is submerged in water and its volume is found to be 12.5 cm?
Compute the mass of the chunk of gold in grams if you know the density is 19.3 g/cm2. Round
appropriately.

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of the chunk of gold is 241.25 g

Explanation:

Since density is defined as mass divided by volume, we can solve for the mass (m) via its equation:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume} \\19.3=\frac{m}{12.5} \\m=19.3\,(12.5)\, grams\\m = 241.25 \,\,g$
