calculate the density of a sample of gold, if the sample has a volume of 48.9 cm^3 and a mass of 944.75g

1 answer

To calculate density, we use the formula: density = mass/volume.

Given:
Volume = 48.9 cm^3
Mass = 944.75 g

Plug the values into the formula:
Density = 944.75 g / 48.9 cm^3

Calculating this division, we find:
Density ≈ 19.33 g/cm^3

Therefore, the density of the sample of gold is approximately 19.33 g/cm^3.
