To determine the mass of gold where the volume is the only given value, we need to look for literature values of the density is gold. From literature, the density is equal to 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter. Now, we simply multiply the volume to the density. We do as follows:

3.20 cm^3 ( 19.32 g / cm^3 ) = 61.82 g
