To find the mass of a 25 cm³ piece of gold, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} \]
Given that the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³ and the volume is 25 cm³, you can plug in the values:
\[ \text{Mass} = 19.3 , \text{g/cm}^3 \times 25 , \text{cm}^3 \] \[ \text{Mass} = 482.5 , \text{g} \]
So the mass of a 25 cm³ piece of gold is 482.5 g.
The correct answer is B. 482.5g.
