Question

An archaeologist finds a 1.62kg goblet that she believes to be made of pure gold. She determines that the volume of the goblet is 205mL. Calculate the density of the goblet

Answer 1

Density equals Mass/Volume. The equation for this problem would be 1.62 kg/205 mL. If it’s easier, this can be converted to 1620 g/205 mL. The answer would be 7.902 (rounded to the nearest thousandth). Good luck!
