To find the mass of gold that has the same volume as 12 grams of silver, we first need to calculate the volume of silver and then use the density of gold to find the corresponding mass.

1. **Calculate the volume of silver**:
The formula for volume based on mass and density is:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}
\]

For silver:
- Mass = 12 g
- Density = 10.49 g/cm³

\[
\text{Volume of silver} = \frac{12 \, \text{g}}{10.49 \, \text{g/cm}^3} \approx 1.144 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

2. **Use the volume of silver to find the mass of gold**:
Now, use the density of gold to find the mass that occupies the same volume:

For gold:
- Density = 19.32 g/cm³

Rearranging the volume formula for mass gives:

\[
\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}
\]

\[
\text{Mass of gold} = 19.32 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \times 1.144 \, \text{cm}^3 \approx 22.107 \, \text{g}
\]

So, the mass of gold that has the same volume as 12 grams of silver is approximately **22.10 g**.
