Question

Calculate the volume, in mL, of a piece of gold that has a mass of 0.50 oz. The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL.

Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{0.73 \: ml}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the gold can be found by using the formula;

`volume = (mass)/(density)`

From the question;

density = 19.3 g/mL

mass = 0.5 oz

But 1 oz = 28.35 g

`\therefore \: 0.5 \: oz = \cfrac{0.5}{1} * 28.35 \: g \\ = 14.17 \: g \\ m = 14.17 \: g \\ \\ \\ volume = (14.17)/(19.3) = 0.73 \: ml`
