Question

The density of gold is 19.3 g/ml. what is the volume of a gold nugget that weighs 93.5 g?

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of gold nugget is 4.84 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mass of solution, we use the equation:

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

We are given:

Mass of gold = 93.5

Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`19.3g/mL=\frac{93.5g}{\text{Volume of gold}}\\\\\text{Volume of gold}=4.84mL`

Hence, the volume of gold nugget is 4.84 mL

Answer 2

So each 19.3g of gold is equivalent to one ml

So if we divide the mass of the gold nugget by the density we can find the volume: 93.5/19.3 = 4.79ml

Hope that helps
