Question

Given that the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm^3, calculate the volume (in cm^3) of a gold nugget with a mass of 5.98 g. (a) 3.23 cm^3 (b) 5.98 cm^3 (c) 115 cm^3 (d) 0.310 cm^3 (e) 13.3 cm^3

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of gold nugget is 0.310 $cm^{3}$

Explanation:

We know, $density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Here mass of gold nugget is 5.98 g

here density of gold nugget is 19.3 $g/cm^{3}$

So volume of gold nugget = $\frac{mass}{density}$

                                            = $\frac{5.98 g}{19.3 g/cm^{3}}$

                                            = 0.310 $g/cm^{3}$
