Answer:
13.2 g of gold
Explanation:
We'll begin by converting 5.25 L to ft³.
This can be obtained as follow:
Recall:
1 L = 0.0353 ft³
Therefore,
5.25 L = 5.25 × 0.0353
5.25 L = 1.85×10¯¹ ft³
From the question given above,
2.45 g of gold is present in 5.25 L ( i.e 1.85×10¯¹ ft³) of soil.
Therefore, Xg of gold will be present in 1 ft³ of soil i.e
Xg of gold = 2.45/1.85×10¯¹
Xg of gold = 13.2 g
Therefore, 13.2 g of gold is present in 1 ft³ of the soil.
