The density of gold is $19.3 \mathrm{~g} \cdot \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$. Compute the volume in $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$ of $31.1$ grams (1 troy ounce) of gold.
Two objects each have a mass of 5.0 $\mathrm{g}$ . One has a density of 2.7 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ and the other has a density of 8.4 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} .$ Which object has a larger volume? Explain your thinking.
