Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance is an intrinsic property. Intrinsic properties are properties that are characteristic of a material. It does not depend on the amount of substance present.

Since density is an intrinsic or intensive property, If you cut a piece of gold in half, the density of each piece will still be 19.32 g/cm 3 because density does not depend on the size of the gold piece.
