Question

Near Tatooine's famous Mos Eisley Space port you found a 520.79 mL block of gold. What is the mass in kilograms of this block?

Answer 1

10.051kg of gold is the mass in kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of gold is 19.3g/mL. To solve this question we need to convert the volume of the block of gold to grams using its density. Then, we must convert grams to kilograms using the equivalence factor (1000g = 1kg):

Mass in grams:

520.79mL * (19.3g / mL) = 10051g of gold

Mass in kilograms:

10051g of gold * (1kg / 1000g) = 10.051kg of gold
