Question

What is the volume of a gold nugget that weighs 2.20 kg? The density of gold is 19.28 g/cc.

Answer 1

The answer should be 116 cm^3

Answer 2

Answer:

$V=114.1cm^3$

Explanation:

Hello,

Density is defined as the degree of compactness of an object and is mathematically defined via:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

Now, by solving for the requested volume with the proper units one obtains:

$V=\frac{m}{\rho } =\frac{2.20kg}{19.28g/cm^3}*\frac{1000g}{1kg} \\V=114.1cm^3$

Best regards.
