Question

Silver has a density of 10.5 g/cm³, and gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm³. Which would have a greater mass, 5 cm³ of silver or 5 cm³ of gold?

Answer 1

Gold have a greater mass

Further explanation  

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

The unit of density can be expressed in g/cm³ or kg/m³  

Density formula:  

$\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}$

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume  

• mass of Silver :

$\tt mass=\rho\times V\\\\mass=10.5\times 5=52.5~g$

• mass of Gold :

$\tt mass=\rho\times V\\\\mass=19.3\times 5=96.5~g$
