Question 154257: Gold has a density of 19.31 g/cm3. What is the mass of a sample of gold which displaces 70.8 mL of water? Answer by orca(409) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The statement "the sample of gold displaces 70.8 mL of water" implies that the volume of the gold sample is 70.8 mL.
As 1 mL = 1 cm^3, so 70.8 mL =70.8 cm^3
The mass can be found by applying the formula:
mass = density*volume
So
the mass = (19.31 g/cm^3)*(70.8 cm^3)=1367.148g
