Gold has a density of 1,200 lb./ft. What is the density of gold in g/em? For conversion factors use I lb. 453.6 g, and l inch-2.

Jlenok [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The density of gold in $g/cm^3$ is $19.22g/cm^3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Density is defined as the ratio of mass of the object and volume of the object. Mathematically,

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass of the object}}{\text{Volume of the object}}$

We are given:

Density of gold = $1200lb/ft^3$

Using conversion factors:

1 lb = 453.6 g

1 feet = 12 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

Converting given quantity into $g/cm^3$ , we get:

$\Rightarrow (\frac{1200lb}{ft^3})\times (\frac{453.6g}{1lb})\times (\frac{1ft}{12inch})^3\times (\frac{1inch}{2.54cm})^3\\\\\Rightarrow 19.22g/cm^3$

Hence, the density of gold in $g/cm^3$ is $19.22g/cm^3$
