Question

Silver has a density of 10.5 g/cm³, and gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm³. Which would have a greater mass, 5 cm³ of silver or 5 cm³ of gold?

Answer 1

Gold have a greater mass

Further explanation

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

The unit of density can be expressed in g/cm³ or kg/m³

Density formula:

`\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}`

ρ = density

m = mass

v = volume

• mass of Silver :

`\tt mass=\rho* V\\\\mass=10.5* 5=52.5~g`

• mass of Gold :

`\tt mass=\rho* V\\\\mass=19.3* 5=96.5~g`
