Answer:
A crystalline solid
Explanation:
Most solids form with a regular arrangement of their particles because the overall attractive interactions between particles are maximized, and the total intermolecular energy is minimized, when the particles pack in the most efficient manner. The regular arrangement at an atomic level is often reflected at a macroscopic level. Liquids dont use to have this kind of arrangements or shapes.
To calculate for the volume, we need a relation to relate the number of moles (n), pressure (P), and temperature (T) with volume (V). For simplification, we assume the gas is an ideal gas. So, we use PV=nRT.
PV = nRT where R is the universal gas constant
V = nRT / P
V = 65.5 ( 0.08205 ) (273.15 + 50.30) / 9.15
V = 189.98 L
The density of the gold is 19.3 grams/cc so each cc weighs 19.3grams. Now we can obtain the volume of gold from the given dimensions ie 4.72x8.21x3.98= 154.23 cc. So for the answer, just multiply the volume or 154.23 x 19.3= 2976.6 grams is the answer.
