Question

A golden nugget displaces 89.60 mL of water when submerged. If the density of gold is 19.32 g/cm² what is the mass of the nugget

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1731.1 g

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question

density = 19.32 g/cm³

1 mL = 1 cm³

89.60 mL = 89.60 cm³

volume = 89.60 cm³

So we have

mass = 19.32 × 89.60 = 1731.072

We have the final answer as

1731.1 g
