Question

A gold nugget has a volume of 20.0 cm3 and its density is 19.3 g/cm3. What is the mass of the gold nugget?

Answer 1

Answer:

mass of the gold nuggets = 386 grams

Explanation:

Density is the mass of a substance divided by it volume. Density compares the amount of matter in a substance to it volume. It talks about how tightly packed molecules of substance are compacted together. It is the ratio of mass per volume. The S.I unit of a density is kilogram per cubic meters. it can also be represented as gram per cubic centimeters.

Mathematically ,

density = mass/volume

mass of nugget = ?

density of the nugget = 19.3 g/cm³

volume of the nugget = 20.0 cm³

density = mass/volume

Make mass the subject of the formula

mass = density × volume

mass = 19.3 × 20

mass = 386 grams

Mass talks about how much matter a substance contain .It can be measured in grams or kilograms

Answer 2

Density * Volume = Mass

Now we substitute the values in.

19.3 g/cm^3 + 20 cm^3 = 386 g

Mass = 386 g
