Question

A 32.8 g sample of gold was submerged in water in a graduated cylinder, and the volume rose by 1.70 mL. What is the density of the gold sample?

Answer 1

density=mass/volume

mass = 32.8 g
volume of water displaced =1.70ml =1.7cm^3

density = 32.8/1.7
density = 19.29 g/cm^3

Answer 2

Answer: The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:

`\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}`

We are given:

Mass of gold = 32.8 g

Volume of gold = 1.70 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\text{Density of gold}=(32.8g)/(1.70mL)\\\\\text{Density of gold}=19.3g/mL`

Hence, the density of gold is 19.3 g/mL
