Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the mass of the gold nugget, we can use the formula:

mass = density x volume

Substituting the given values, we get:

mass = 19.3 g/cm3 x 0.00369 L

We need to convert the volume from liters to cubic centimeters (cm3) because the density is given in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). We can do this by multiplying the volume by 1000:

mass = 19.3 g/cm3 x 0.00369 L x 1000 cm3/L

Simplifying, we get:

mass = 71.2 g

Therefore, the mass of the gold nugget is 71.2 grams. Answer choice A is the correct answer.

The Density of a Gold Nugget Is 19
