Question

Calculate the density of a sample of gold if the sample has a volume of 48.9cm3 and a mass of 944.75 g

Answer 1

Answer:

19.3g/cm^3

Explanation:

Hey,

the formula for density is Mass/Volume so in this question you basically put the given things in the formula

D = M/V

D= 944.75/48.9

D= 19.3g/cm^3

Answer 2

Answer:

The density of a sample of gold is 19.32 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$

Explanation:

Density can be defined as the property that matter has, whether solids, liquids or gases, to be compressed in a given space. In other words, density is a magnitude that allows you to measure the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance. Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the ratio between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$d=\frac{mass}{volume}$

From this expression it can be deduced that the density is inversely proportional to the volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the greater the density.

Density, according to the International System of Units, is usually expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

So, in this case:

$d=\frac{944.75 g}{48.9cm^{3} }$

$d=19.32 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }$

The density of a sample of gold is 19.32 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$
