Question

What is the volume of a gold nugget that weighs 2.20 kg? The density of gold is 19.28 g/cc.

Answer 1

The answer should be 116 cm^3

Answer 2

`V=114.1cm^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Density is defined as the degree of compactness of an object and is mathematically defined via:

`\rho =(m)/(V)`

Now, by solving for the requested volume with the proper units one obtains:

`V=(m)/(\rho ) =(2.20kg)/(19.28g/cm^3)*(1000g)/(1kg) \\V=114.1cm^3`

Best regards.
