Question
An allegedly gold nugget is tested to determine its density. It is found todisplace 19.3 $\mathrm{mL}$ of water and has a mass of 371 $\mathrm{g}$ . Could the nugget bemade of gold?
Step 1
The formula for density is mass divided by volume. In this case, the mass of the nugget is 371 grams and the volume is 19.3 milliliters. \[Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}\] Show more…
