Question

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. Find the mass of 9 cm3 of gold in grams.

Answer 1

19.3 g/cc

The exact relationship is density = mass or weight divided by volume. Different materials have different densities. For example, the mass density of gold is 19.3 g/cc, lead is 11.4 g/cc, copper is 9.0 g/cc, aluminum is 2.7 g/cc, water is 1.0 g/cc (1g/cc = 1 gram per cubic centimeter).
