Question

select the correct answer.
a piece of gold has a mass of 14.12 grams and a volume of 4 cubic centimeters.
what is the density of the gold?
a. 0.57 g/cm³
b. 3.53 g/cm³
c. 1.77 g/cm³
d. 0.28 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density formula is $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.

Step2: Substitute values

Given $m = 14.12$ grams, $V = 4$ cubic centimeters. Substitute into formula: $
ho=\frac{14.12}{4}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{14.12}{4}=3.53$ grams per cubic centimeter.

Answer:

B. $3.53\ \text{g/cm}^3$
