Question

Gold has a density of 19.3 ​ g/cm3 ​, it is often made into a bar called a gold ingot. A certain gold ingot has a volume 51.8 cm³.

What is the mass of the gold ingot?

Answer 1

the gold ingot would be 999.74 grams. if one centimeter cubed has a mass of 19.3, then 51.8 centimeters cubed would have a mass of 999.74 grams.

Answer 2

Answer: 999.74 g

Explanation:

Given: Density of gold =
`19.3\ g/cm^3`

The volume of a certain gold ingot =
`51.8\ cm^3`

We know that the formula of density is :

`\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\\\\\Rightarrow19.3=\frac{\text{Mass}}{51.8}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Mass}=51.8*19.3=999.74\ g`

Hence, the mass of the gold ingot = 999.74 g
