Question

A sample of gold weighing 38.6 g was added to a graduated cylinder containing 23.00 mL of water. The volume of the water plus the gold was 25.00 mL. What is the density of gold

Answer 1

19.3 g / ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of gold is the increase in the cylinder volume

volume = 2 ml

mass = 38.6 g

density = mass / volume = 38.6 / 2 = 19.3 g / cm^3

Answer 2

2.00 g mL -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2.00 g mL -1
