Answer to Question #130895 in Chemistry for jaslin

Question

gold has a density of 19.3 g/mL. if you have 4.0 grams of gold, what is the volume of the sample?

Answer 1

Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL

Mass of gold = 4.0 g

Solution:

Equation:

Density = Mass / Volume

Rearrange the equation to isolate volume and solve.

Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = (4.0 g) / (19.3 g/mL) = 0.207 mL = 0.21 mL = 0.21 cm³

Answer: 0.21 cm³ is the volume of gold.
