Question

The density of a 10 pound gold brick

is 19.3 g/cm3. What is the density of
a 5 pound gold brick?
A.19.3 g/cmº-The two bricks have the
same density

B.9.6 g/cm3-The 5 pound brick has half
the density of the 10 pound brick

Answer 1

A.19.3 g/cm³-The two bricks have the same density

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10 pound gold brick and 5 pound gold brick will have the same density value.

Density is an intensive property and it does not depend on the amount of matter present.

• We define density as the mass per unit volume in a substance

All pure samples of substance will have the same value of density. This is regardless of their masses or volume.

Such a property is called an intensive property.
