7.13 (g/cm)
A. 0.38 g
B. 2.63 g
C. 69.3 g
D.950 g

Answer 1

96.5g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of Au = 50cm³

Density of Au = 19.3 g/cm³

Unknown:

Mass of the gold = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a compound.

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Mass = density x volume

Insert the parameters and solve;

Mass = 19.3 g/cm³ x 50cm³ = 96.5g
