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. 0.28 g/cm³ c. 3.53 g/cm³ d. 1.77 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

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

Step2: Substitute given values

Given $m = 14.12$ g and $V=4$ $cm^{3}$, then $
ho=\frac{14.12}{4}$.

Step3: Calculate density

$\frac{14.12}{4}=3.53$ g/$cm^{3}$.

Answer:

C. $3.53$ g/$cm^{3}$
