-platinum has a density of 21.25 g/cc.gold has a desinty of 19.3 g/cc.
(a)which is larger , a 100 gram cube of platinum or a 100 gram cube of gold?
Gold is larger, since it's less dense.
-------------------
(b)what is the length of each side of a 100 gram cube of platinum?
Vol = weight/density
Vol = 100/21.25 =~ 4.70588 cc
s = cube root of volume =~ 1.676 cm
